1. Introduction to FGT_600D-v6-build0131-FORTINET.out

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 6.4.15 for FortiGate 600D enterprise firewalls, released in Q1 2025 as a critical security maintenance update. Designed for mid-sized networks requiring CISA KEV catalog compliance, it addresses 5 high-severity vulnerabilities while optimizing threat intelligence synchronization with FortiAnalyzer.

The build0131 revision enhances hardware acceleration for the 600D’s NP6 network processors, specifically improving SSL/TLS decryption performance on 10GbE interfaces. Compatible exclusively with FG-600D appliances, it maintains backward compatibility with configurations created in FortiOS 6.4.10+ but requires factory reset when downgrading from 7.x firmware branches.
