1. Introduction to FGT_60E_POE-v6-build1879-FORTINET.out

This firmware update (v6.4 build 1879) targets FortiGate 60E PoE series devices requiring enhanced Power over Ethernet management and network security improvements. Released on November 4, 2024, it addresses critical vulnerabilities identified in Fortinet Security Advisory FG-IR-24-588 while optimizing traffic processing for small-to-medium enterprise networks. Designed for environments requiring 802.3at PoE+ device support, the update specifically enhances power budgeting algorithms for multi-device deployments.

Compatible with FortiGate 60E PoE models (P/N: FG-60E-POE) manufactured after Q3 2022 running FortiOS 6.4 or newer. Mandatory for organizations requiring compliance with EN 62368-1 safety standards for PoE installations.

2. Key Features and Improvements

2.1 Security Enhancements

  • Patches remote code execution vulnerability in LLDP protocol handling (CVE-2024-58824)
  • Implements FIPS 140-2 validated AES-256 encryption for management traffic

2.2 Performance Optimization

  • 30% faster PoE device detection through optimized power negotiation
  • Reduces packet processing latency by 25% in 1Gbps full-duplex mode

2.3 Hardware Integration

  • Adds support for 802.3bt Type 4 (90W) PoE++ devices
  • Improves thermal management for continuous 24-port PoE operation

3. Compatibility and Requirements

Supported Hardware Minimum FortiOS Required Components
FortiGate 60E PoE (FG-60E-POE) 6.4.5 4GB RAM, NP6Lite SoC
