Introduction to FGT_60E_DSLJ-v7.0.4-build0301-FORTINET.out Software

The ​​FGT_60E_DSLJ-v7.0.4-build0301-FORTINET.out​​ firmware package provides essential updates for Fortinet’s FortiGate 60E DSLJ series, a specialized network security appliance combining firewall protection with integrated DSL modem capabilities. Released under FortiOS 7.0.4 maintenance updates in Q1 2025, this build specifically addresses vulnerabilities in WAN interface management while enhancing broadband connectivity features for remote offices and SMB deployments.

Designed for the FortiGate 60E DSLJ hardware platform, this firmware (version 7.0.4 build 0301) resolves 12 documented CVEs from Fortinet’s PSIRT advisories, including critical risks affecting PPPoE authentication and DSL synchronization. Network administrators managing distributed retail chains or branch offices will benefit from its improved integration with FortiManager Cloud and dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithms.
