- Enhanced IPS Engine: Integrates 2025-Q2 threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs
- PoE Device Protection: New surge protection algorithms for connected PoE endpoints
Performance Optimization
- 12% throughput increase for 1Gbps VLAN traffic compared to build 0457 (6.0.14)
- 20% faster failover in HA clusters with PoE-powered devices
- Optimized power management for 802.3at/af-compliant endpoints
Protocol & Compliance
- Extended LLDP-MED support for VoIP device auto-configuration
- FIPS 140-2 Level 1 validation renewal
- RFC 6349 compliance updates for TCP throughput measurement
3. Compatibility and Requirements
Supported Hardware | Minimum FortiOS Version | RAM Requirement | PoE Budget |
---|---|---|---|
