Introduction to FGT_80F_POE-v6.M-build2000-FORTINET.out Software

This firmware update delivers FortiOS 6.4.11 for FortiGate 80F-POE series firewalls with Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, addressing 12 critical vulnerabilities while optimizing network performance for small-to-medium enterprises. Designed for environments requiring PoE-capable security appliances, build 2000 resolves CVE-2024-33512 (CVSS 9.6) and enhances threat detection efficiency through Security Fabric integration.

Compatible exclusively with FortiGate 80F-POE hardware, this Q1 2025 maintenance release (published February 15, 2025) maintains backward compatibility with existing SD-WAN configurations while introducing hardware-accelerated TLS 1.3 inspection for PoE-connected devices.
