Initial CLI Configuration
The technical asset refers to the modern 64-bit FortiGate Virtual Machine ( FGT_VM64_KVM ) deployment package. Running on FortiOS version 7.4.7 (Build 2731) , this specific virtual disk image uses the QCOW2 format tailored for Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisors, Proxmox VE, OpenXen, and network simulation environments like EVE-NG or GNS3.

This build was officially released around January 21, 2025 . Deployment Requirements
:
KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) / QEMU Software Version: FortiOS 7.4.7 (Maintenance Release) Target Build Number: Build 2731
Organizations can consolidate networking and security across branch connections. FortiOS 7.4.7 introduces refined application steering, automated path failover, and precise quality-of-service (QoS) tracking over virtual links. 3. ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access)
Define a new virtual machine via virt-install or the Proxmox GUI, reserving at least 2 vCPUs and 2048MB RAM. automated path failover
