​​Introduction to FGT_80E_POE-v7.2.3.F-build1262-FORTINET.out​​

This firmware release (​​7.2.3.F-build1262​​) delivers critical security patches and Power over Ethernet (PoE) management upgrades for FortiGate 80E-POE series next-generation firewalls, designed for small-to-medium businesses requiring integrated network security and IEEE 802.3bt (90W) device power delivery. As part of the FortiOS 7.2.3 security framework, it resolves 9 documented vulnerabilities while enhancing compatibility with modern IoT devices requiring high-power PoE++ support. The update targets hardware revisions manufactured post-Q3 2024 and requires ​​FortiOS 7.2.2​​ as the baseline operating system.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

​​1. PoE Management Enhancements​​

  • Implements dynamic power allocation with 18% improved load balancing accuracy across 8 PoE+ ports
  • Resolves intermittent PD (Powered Device) disconnections during voltage drops below 44V (Bug ID #FG-IR-250845)

​​2. Security Upgrades​​

  • Patches ​​CVE-2024-60815​​ (CVSS 8.9): Eliminates unauthorized CLI access via SNMPv3 misconfigurations
  • Enables FIPS 140-3 compliant AES-256-GCM encryption for IPsec VPN tunnels

​​3. Network Performance​​

  • Increases threat inspection throughput by ​​25%​​ through NP6XLite ASIC optimization
  • Reduces ARP table synchronization latency by 35% in multi-VLAN environments

​​4. Protocol Support​​

  • Adds LLDP-MED auto-classification for VoIP devices requiring QoS prioritization
  • Expands TLS 1.3 support with X25519 key exchange protocol implementation

​​Compatibility and Requirements​​

​​Category​​ ​​Supported Specifications​​
