Introduction to FGT_601E-v7.4.1.F-build2463-FORTINET.out
This firmware package delivers FortiOS 7.4.1 Feature Release (F-build2463) specifically engineered for FortiGate 601E next-generation firewalls. Released in Q1 2025, it combines security hardening with performance optimizations for enterprise network environments requiring advanced threat protection and SD-WAN capabilities.
Designed for the 601E model with ASIC-accelerated SPU processors, the update enhances IPSec VPN throughput to 25 Gbps while maintaining backward compatibility with configurations from FortiOS 7.2.x/7.0.x series. The build number “2463” confirms it as a Feature Release containing full functionality updates rather than security-only patches.
