​​Introduction to FGT_60D_POE-v6-build0505-FORTINET.out​​

The ​​FGT_60D_POE-v6-build0505-FORTINET.out​​ firmware package delivers FortiOS 6.4.5 for FortiGate 60D-POE devices, a compact firewall designed for small-to-medium businesses requiring Power over Ethernet (PoE) support. This release focuses on hardening network security for VoIP systems, IP cameras, and wireless access points while maintaining compliance with Fortinet’s Long-Term Support (LTS) roadmap.

Compatible exclusively with FortiGate 60D-POE hardware (model FG-60D-POE), this build addresses vulnerabilities disclosed in 2024 Q4 and optimizes performance for environments with ≤50 concurrent users. Though no official release date is published, build0505 corresponds to Fortinet’s November 2024 security maintenance cycle.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​
