Introduction to FGT_400E_BP-v6.M-build2092-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware release (version 6.M-build2092) delivers critical security updates and network optimization for FortiGate 400E BP series firewalls, designed for enterprise branch offices requiring carrier-grade reliability and BGP protocol enhancements. Released in Q2 2025, it resolves 19 CVEs identified in previous FortiOS versions while introducing hardware-accelerated IPsec VPN performance for high-density WAN deployments.
Optimized specifically for FortiGate 400E BP appliances (FG-400E-BP), this build achieves 85 Gbps firewall throughput with BGP route processing improvements of 22% compared to build 2085. It supports seamless configuration migration from FortiOS 6.4.x versions while maintaining backward compatibility for legacy SD-WAN policies.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Carrier Network Enhancements
- 40% faster BGP route convergence through optimized ASIC acceleration
