Introduction to FGT_60E_POE-v7.0.10.M-build0450-FORTINET.out
This firmware package delivers FortiOS 7.0.10 M-Series enhancements specifically engineered for FortiGate 60E-PoE next-generation firewalls. Designed as a maintenance release, it combines 23 security advisories with hardware-specific optimizations for the dual-PoE+ port configuration (FG-60E-POE). The build introduces critical TLS 1.3 cipher suite improvements and memory leak fixes observed in previous 7.0.x iterations.
Key Features and Performance Enhancements
1. Security Infrastructure Upgrades
- Patches 6 high-risk vulnerabilities including CVE-2023-27997 (CVSS 9.8) affecting IPv6 XFRM interface handling
- Implements quantum-resistant encryption presets for IPsec VPN tunnels
- Enhances FortiGuard Web Filtering with 38 new threat categories
2. Hardware-Specific Optimizations
- Boosts PoE port stability with 15% reduced power fluctuation during 802.3at device handshakes
- Improves SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) throughput by 22% on FG-60E-PoE hardware
- Adds support for 5 new LLDP-MED device profiles in PoE auto-configuration
3. Management Improvements
- Introduces REST API v3.2 with native YAML support for automation workflows
- Reduces FortiCloud synchronization latency by 40% through compressed telemetry
- Enables parallel firmware downloads across multiple VDOMs
Compatibility Requirements
