​​Introduction to FGT_60D_POE-v6-build0549-FORTINET.out Software​​

This firmware package delivers FortiOS v6-build0549 for FortiGate 60D-POE series security appliances, optimized for small-to-medium business networks requiring Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) capabilities. As part of the FortiOS 6.4.x maintenance branch, it resolves 11 documented CVEs while enhancing PoE management and threat detection efficiency through dedicated security processors.

Compatible exclusively with the FortiGate 60D-POE hardware platform, this build improves 16-port PoE switch management and introduces hardware-accelerated SSL/TLS inspection workflows. The firmware bridges security updates between FortiOS 6.4.8 and 6.4.12 versions, maintaining backward compatibility with existing SD-WAN configurations.
