    More detailed information is available in the New Features Guide.

    Feature ID

    Description

    913213

    When authenticating users with a RADIUS server, FortiOS can now dynamically assign a different NAS-IP-Address attribute to the managed switches. For more control, this feature also allows you to manually override the dynamic assignment and set the NAS-IP-Address attribute for individual switches as per your requirements.

    936747

    On FortiGates with multiple NP7 processors with hyperscale enabled, you can use the following command to optimize NP7 network session setup (NSS) engine performance.

    config system npu
    set nss-threads-option {4T-EIF | 4T-NOEIF | 2T}
end

    • 4T-EIF: the NSS is configured with four threads and the Endpoint Independent Filtering (EIF) feature is allowed (the default). NSS with four threads supports the maximum NP7 Connections Per Second (CPS) performance.

    • 4T-NOEIF: the NSS is configured with four threads and the EIF feature is not allowed. Also supports the maximum NP7 CPS performance.

    • 2T: the NSS is configured with two threads and the EIF feature is allowed. This setting reduces the maximum NP7 CPS performance.

    Note

    Changing the nss-threads-option causes the FortiGate to restart.
    955835 Previously, when auto-upgrade was disabled, users would receive a warning advising them to execute exec federated-upgrade cancel in order to remove any scheduled upgrades. However, with the new update, the system is now capable of autonomously canceling any pending upgrades, eliminating the need for manual user action.
    973573 You can now specify a tagged VLAN for users to be assigned to when the authentication server is unavailable. Previously, you could only specify an untagged VLAN. This feature is available with 802.1x MAC-based authentication. It is compatible with both Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and MAC authentication bypass (MAB).
    1006448 Enhance SSL VPN security by restricting and validating HTTP messages that are used only by web mode and tunnel mode.
    1007937 Support the Zstandard (zstd) compression algorithm for web content. This enhancement enables FortiOS to decode, scan, and forward zstd-encoded web content in a proxy-based policy. The content can then be passed or blocked based on the UTM profile settings. This ensures a seamless and secure browsing experience.

    1012626

    In this enhancement, a hash of all executable binary files and shared libraries are taken during image build time. The file containing these hashes, called the executable hash, is also hashed and as a result signed. The signature for this hash is verified during bootup to ensure integrity of the file. After validation, the hashes of all executable and share libraries can be loaded into memory for real-time protection.
    1013511 This enhancement requires the kernel to verify the signed hashes of important file-system and object files during boot-up. This prevents unauthorized changes to file-systems to be mounted, and other unauthorized objects to be loaded into user space on boot-up. If the signed hash verification fails, the system will halt.
