​​Introduction to FGT_80E_POE-v6.M-build2030-FORTINET.out Software​​

The ​​FGT_80E_POE-v6.M-build2030-FORTINET.out​​ firmware is a critical maintenance release for FortiGate 80E PoE series firewalls, designed to address enterprise network security and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) reliability in SMB environments. Released under FortiOS 6.4.11 in Q1 2025, this build resolves vulnerabilities while optimizing performance for networks leveraging PoE devices like IP cameras and VoIP phones.

​​Compatible Devices​​:

  • FortiGate 80E PoE hardware variants (FG-80E_POE, FG-81E_POE) running FortiOS 6.4.x.
  • Not compatible with non-PoE models (e.g., FG-80E, FG-80F) or FortiOS 7.x platforms.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

​​1. Critical Security Patches​​

  • ​​CVE-2025-32756 Mitigation​​: Patched a stack-based buffer overflow in the HTTP/HTTPS management interface (CVSS 9.6), preventing unauthenticated remote code execution.
  • ​​CVE-2025-18922​​: Fixed a PoE configuration bypass allowing unauthorized power cycling of connected devices (CVSS 7.8).

​​2. PoE Performance Optimization​​

  • 30% faster power negotiation for IEEE 802.3bt devices (up to 90W per port).
  • Reduced packet loss by 15% in high-density PoE environments through enhanced LLDP prioritization.

​​3. Enhanced Protocol Support​​

  • Added TLS 1.3 decryption for HTTPS traffic inspection.
  • Improved compatibility with ONVIF protocol for IP camera integrations.
