​​Introduction to FGT_3401E-v6-build1364-FORTINET.out​​

This firmware update delivers critical security enhancements and infrastructure improvements for FortiGate 3401E next-generation firewalls operating on FortiOS v6.x. Designed for large enterprise networks requiring 40Gbps-class throughput, build 1364 resolves vulnerabilities in SD-WAN path selection algorithms while optimizing threat detection efficiency for hyperscale environments.

Exclusively compatible with FortiGate 3401E hardware (P/N FG-3401E), this release supports organizations utilizing 48x 10G SFP+ ports and 8x 40G QSFP+ uplinks. The firmware maintains backward compatibility with configurations from FortiOS 6.2.0 through 6.4.14, enabling seamless policy migration during upgrades.
