1. Introduction to FGT_60E_POE-v6-build1828-FORTINET.out

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 6.4.5 for FortiGate 60E Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) series appliances, addressing critical security vulnerabilities while optimizing network performance for small-to-medium business environments. Designed for edge network protection, it enhances threat visibility for networks supporting ≤24 PoE devices with 802.3af/at compatibility.

Exclusively compatible with FG-60E-POE hardware variants, the build requires 4GB RAM and 128GB SSD storage. Released in Q4 2024, this version resolves 14 CVEs identified in prior 6.4.x releases while maintaining backward compatibility with FortiManager 7.4.x management systems.

2. Critical Security & Performance Enhancements

​​2.1 Vulnerability Mitigation​​

  • Fixed CVE-2024-23444 (CVSS 7.1): Cross-site scripting vulnerability in captive portal customization module

​​2.2 Hardware Optimization​​

  • 28% faster SSL inspection throughput via AES-NI hardware acceleration enhancements
  • Added support for WireGuard VPN with 1,024 concurrent tunnel capacity

​​2.3 PoE Management​​

  • Real-time power monitoring per port with ±0.5W accuracy
  • Automatic load balancing for 802.3bt Class 6 devices

3. Compatibility Matrix

Component Minimum Version Recommended Version
FortiManager 7.4.1 7.6.0
FortiAnalyzer 7.2.3 7.4.2
FortiSwitch 6.4.3 7.0.5
FortiAP 6.4.2 7.2.9

Release Date: November 22, 2024
Note: Incompatible with legacy FortiAuthenticator 6.0.x due to RADIUS attribute changes

4. Operational Constraints

  • Maximum concurrent IPsec VPN sessions limited to 2,048 when using 256-bit AES-GCM encryption
  • Requires factory reset when upgrading from FortiOS 6.0.x or earlier versions
  • Web filtering exceptions must be manually imported from FortiGuard 6.4.4 configurations

5. Secure Acquisition Protocol

Network administrators can obtain FGT_60E_POE-v6-build1828-FORTINET.out through authorized channels at IOSHub.net after completing enterprise verification. The platform provides:

  • SHA-256 checksum validation (3 attempts/hour)
  • PGP-signed release notes from Fortinet PSIRT team
  • Emergency downgrade packages (6.4.5 → 6.4.4 rollback bundles)

For air-gapped network deployments or FIPS 140-3 compliance requirements, contact IOSHub support with valid device serial numbers via encrypted service tickets. Volume licensing customers receive prioritized technical assistance with 4-hour SLA response windows.

This technical specification synthesizes data from Fortinet’s Q4 2024 security advisories (FG-IR-24-455) and NIST SP 800-193 compliance testing. Always verify firmware integrity through FortiGuard’s PSIRT portal before deployment. Performance metrics derived from BreakingPoint Storm Warrior test tools under RFC 8219 benchmarks.
