Introduction to FGT_60E_DSL-v6-build0335-FORTINET.out Software
The FGT_60E_DSL-v6-build0335-FORTINET.out firmware delivers FortiOS 6.0.5 for FortiGate 60E-DSL series firewalls, specifically engineered for branch offices requiring integrated DSL connectivity and SD-WAN capabilities. Released in Q4 2024, this build addresses critical vulnerabilities while enhancing zero-trust network access (ZTNA) performance for distributed enterprises.
Compatible exclusively with FortiGate 60E-DSL hardware (FG-60E-DSL), this firmware optimizes threat detection and bandwidth utilization for networks with limited IT staff. It maintains backward compatibility with configurations from FortiOS 5.6.x, ensuring smooth transitions for organizations upgrading legacy infrastructure.
