Introduction to FGT_60E_DSL-v7.2.3.F-build1262-FORTINET.out

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 7.2.3 Feature Release (build 1262) for ​​FortiGate 60E DSL Series​​ firewalls, designed for small-to-medium businesses requiring integrated xDSL connectivity and enterprise-grade security. Released in Q3 2024 under Fortinet’s quarterly Security Fabric updates, it addresses 12 CVEs from FortiGuard Labs’ Q2 2024 threat analysis while enhancing DSL link stability and IoT device management.

Key specifications include:

  • 1.5 Gbps firewall throughput
  • 800 Mbps IPsec VPN capacity
  • 300 Mbps DSL modem throughput
  • 1,000 concurrent user sessions

The build introduces hardware-specific optimizations for the 60E DSL’s ARMv8 processor and integrates with FortiExtender 201F LTE modems for failover scenarios. It maintains backward compatibility with FortiOS 7.2.x configurations while improving DSL synchronization rates by 25% compared to previous releases.
