Introduction to FGT_70D-v6-build0268-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware update provides critical security enhancements and operational optimizations for FortiGate 70D series appliances, designed for small-to-medium enterprises requiring integrated Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) management. Validated through Fortinet’s quality assurance process on March 15, 2025, build 0268 resolves 12 CVEs while improving hardware resource allocation for concurrent security processing and network switching tasks.
The release targets FG-70D-POE hardware running FortiOS 6.4.10 through 6.4.14, maintaining backward compatibility with existing VLAN configurations and SD-WAN policies. This version introduces hardware-specific optimizations for encrypted traffic inspection and IEEE 802.3at power management.
