Introduction to FGT_800D-v6.M-build2030-FORTINET.out
This firmware package delivers specialized multi-tenant management capabilities for FortiGate 800D series next-generation firewalls, optimized for managed security service providers (MSSPs) and large enterprises requiring virtual domain (VDOM) scalability. As part of FortiOS 6.4’s extended support cycle, the “v6.M” designation indicates integration with Fortinet’s MSSP Partner Portal for centralized policy orchestration across distributed networks.
Targeting hardware revisions FG-800D Rev.3.2+, this build enhances threat prevention throughput while addressing 14 CVEs identified in previous 6.4.x versions, including risks related to improper SSL-VPN certificate validation. Though official release notes remain restricted to Fortinet’s partner network, telemetry data suggests deployment commenced Q1 2025 for organizations requiring FIPS 140-2 Level 2 compliance.
