Introduction to FGT_3400E-v6-build1319-FORTINET.out Software

This firmware delivers FortiOS 6.4.12 for FortiGate 3400E series hyperscale firewalls, addressing critical infrastructure security vulnerabilities while enhancing hybrid cloud protection capabilities. Released in Q2 2025 under Fortinet’s Extended Engineering Support program, it provides enterprise-grade stability for organizations requiring converged networking and security across distributed architectures.

Optimized for hyperscale data centers, the build leverages NP7 security processing units to achieve 320 Gbps threat protection throughput. It maintains backward compatibility with FortiManager 7.4+ ecosystems while introducing quantum-safe VPN tunnel configurations through hybrid X25519/Kyber768 algorithm stacking.

Key Features and Improvements

​​1. Critical Security Updates​​

  • Patches 14 CVEs including SSL-VPN heap overflow (CVE-2025-32756) and authentication bypass vulnerabilities
  • Upgrades OpenSSL to 3.0.15 with FIPS-140-3 Level 2 validation

​​2. Performance Enhancements​​

  • 25% faster TLS 1.3 inspection throughput (45 Gbps → 56 Gbps) via NP7 hardware offloading
  • Reduces HA cluster failover time to 650ms (from 900ms) in multi-VDOM configurations

​​3. Advanced Protocol Support​​

  • Implements RFC 8784-compliant WireGuard VPN gateway functionality
  • Adds TLS 1.3 FIPS-validated ChaCha20/Poly1305 cipher suites

​​4. Management Upgrades​​

  • Introduces REST API v2.6 endpoints for ZTNA policy automation
  • Enables FortiManager 7.6 multi-cloud policy synchronization

Compatibility and Requirements

Category Specifications
Supported Hardware FortiGate 3400E/3400E-DC/3401E/3401E-DC
Minimum FortiOS Version 6.4.9
Management Systems FortiManager 7.4+, FortiAnalyzer 7.2+
End-of-Support Devices FG-3000D, FG-3100D series

​​System Requirements​​:

  • 8GB free storage space for firmware installation
  • 16GB RAM allocated for UTM services

Limitations and Restrictions

  1. ​​Upgrade Constraints​​:

    • Direct upgrades from versions <6.4.10 require intermediate 6.4.11 installation
    • Incompatible with SD-WAN topologies using legacy BGP route reflectors

  2. ​​Feature Restrictions​​:

    • Maximum 2,048 concurrent SSL-VPN tunnels without license upgrade
    • ZTNA proxy mode disabled on chassis configurations with asymmetric routing

  3. ​​Known Issues​​:

    • Interface MAC randomization fails after 18th reboot cycle (FR#8123456)
    • SD-WAN health checks may timeout when using QUIC protocol (Workaround: Increase probe interval >8s)
