​​Introduction to FGT_60E_DSL-v7.2.0.F-build1157-FORTINET.out​​

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 7.2.0 for the FortiGate 60E-DSL Series, designed for small-to-medium businesses requiring integrated DSL connectivity and advanced threat protection. Released in Q2 2024 (build 1157), it addresses critical vulnerabilities while optimizing performance for broadband network environments.

The file contains a hardware-specific firmware image for FortiGate 60E-DSL appliances, integrating Fortinet’s Security Fabric architecture with DSL modem functionality. It supports unified threat management (UTM), SD-WAN acceleration, and zero-trust network access (ZTNA) frameworks, making it ideal for remote offices and retail locations requiring all-in-one security and connectivity.
