1. Introduction to FWF_60F-v7.0.6.F-build0366-FORTINET.out

This firmware release delivers critical optimizations for FortiWAN 60F application delivery controllers, specifically designed for multi-WAN network optimization under FortiOS 7.0.6. Targeting enterprises requiring advanced traffic management, it resolves 9 CVEs from previous versions while enhancing link load balancing capabilities.

The build 0366 (released March 2025) extends hardware lifecycle support for 60F series appliances launched in 2022. Compatible with both standalone deployments and FortiManager-controlled environments, it maintains backward compatibility with configurations from FortiOS 6.4.x through automated policy migration tools. This update particularly benefits organizations using SD-Branch architectures with multiple ISP connections.
