Introduction to FGT_60E_DSLJ-v7.2.1.F-build1254-FORTINET.out

This firmware update (build 1254) delivers critical enhancements for FortiGate 60E-DSL series appliances, specifically engineered for branch offices requiring integrated DSL connectivity. As part of FortiOS 7.2.1 Feature Release, it combines security hardening with WAN optimization for SMB networks.

Designed for FG-60E-DSL hardware variants, the update supports xDSL/VDSL2 modem functionalities while maintaining full compatibility with FortiGate’s Security Fabric architecture. Release notes indicate deployment timing aligns with Q1 2025 security patch cycles, though exact publication dates remain restricted to licensed support portals.
