Introduction to FGT_60E_DSLJ-v6-build1966-FORTINET.out
This firmware package delivers FortiOS 6.4.9 for FortiGate 60E DSLJ series appliances, addressing 17 critical vulnerabilities while optimizing xDSL connectivity and SOHO network security. Released under Fortinet’s Q3 2024 maintenance cycle, build 1966 enhances platform stability for broadband service providers and branch office deployments.
Specifically designed for the FG-60E_DSLJ model – a compact ADSL2+/VDSL2 firewall supporting 800Mbps threat protection throughput – this update maintains backward compatibility with FortiManager 7.4.x for centralized policy management. The firmware introduces mandatory security patches required for TR-069 protocol compliance in ISP-managed environments.
