​​Introduction to FSR_124D-v6-build0234-FORTINET.out​​

This firmware package provides FortiSwitchOS 6.4.2 for FortiSwitch 124D series managed switches, delivering critical security patches and performance enhancements for enterprise network environments. Released in Q2 2024, build 0234 addresses 9 CVEs while introducing advanced Power over Ethernet (PoE) management and Layer 3 routing optimizations. Designed for high-density campus networks requiring 10G uplink scalability, it supports up to 48 PoE+ ports with 740W total power budget.

Compatible exclusively with FortiSwitch 124D-POE/124D-FPOE hardware models, this update enhances integration with FortiGate 7.4.x Security Fabric for unified policy enforcement.
