For IT and security professionals building virtual network infrastructures, understanding the specific image files is key. One such file, fgt-vm64-kvm-v7.2.1.f-build1254-fortinet.out.kvm.qcow2 , is a specific version of Fortinet's virtual firewall. This article breaks down every part of that filename and provides a complete guide to deploying it on a Linux KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) host.
This file is a for deploying a FortiGate NGFW (Next-Generation Firewall) as a virtual appliance on KVM-based hypervisors , including:
