Introduction to FSW_248E_FPOE-v7-build0471-FORTINET.out Software

This firmware package (FSW_248E_FPOE-v7-build0471-FORTINET.out) delivers FortiSwitchOS 7.0.4 for the 248E-FPOE series switches, resolving 14 critical CVEs including CVE-2024-55591 – a remote privilege escalation vulnerability impacting previous Fortinet network OS versions. Released under Fortinet’s Q2 2025 security update cycle, build 0471 enhances industrial IoT security and power management for medium-scale enterprise networks requiring zero-trust architecture compliance.

The update optimizes integration with FortiGate 7.8.2+ controllers for SD-Branch automation and FortiAnalyzer 7.8.3+ for NIST SP 800-213A-aligned compliance reporting. Designed for healthcare IoT and smart manufacturing deployments, it supports 90W PoE++ devices with military-grade encryption protocols.
