l Connect the AP units and let the FortiGate unit discover them. They will begin to function when connected. l Optionally, preauthorize FortiAP units. l Configure DHCP service on the interface to which the AP will connect. To prepare the FortiGate unit, you need to l Configure the network interface to which the AP will connect. Remote deployment Discovering and authorizing APsĪfter you prepare your FortiGate unit, you can connect your APs to discover them using the discovery methods described earlier. This is also known as a datacenter remote management deployment. Each FortiAP can be configured with three WiFi controller IP addresses for redundant failover. In this method of connectivity its best to configure each FortiAP with the static IP address of the WiFi controller. Network topology for managed Gateway DeploymentĬonnection over WAN: The FortiGate WiFi controller is off-premises and connected by a VPN tunnel to a local FortiGate. This is also known as a gateway deployment. There must be a routable path between the FortiAP unit and the FortiGate unit and ports 52 must be open. Switched Connection: The FortiAP unit is connected to the FortiGate WiFi controller by an Ethernet switch operating in L2 switching mode or 元 routing mode. Network topology for managed APs Wirecloset deployment See “Wirecloset and Gateway deployments” below. This is also known as a wirecloset deployment. In this configuration the FortiAP unit requests an IP address from the FortiGate unit, enters discovery mode and should quickly find the FortiGate WiFi controller.
‘internal’ ports available on the FortiGate. This configuration is common for locations where the number of FortiAP’s matches up with the number of The FortiAP unit can be connected to the FortiGate unit in any of the following ways:ĭirect connection: The FortiAP unit is directly connected to the FortiGate unit with no switches between them. If your FortiAP units are unable to find the WiFi controller, refer to Access point deployment on page 64 for detailed information about the FortiAP unit’s controller discovery methods and how you can configure them. Then, you are ready to follow the procedures in Access point deployment on page 64. Review the following section, Access point deployment on page 64, to make sure that your method of connecting the FortiAP unit to the WiFi controller is valid. In most cases, FortiAP units can find WiFi controllers through the wired Ethernet without any special configuration. The administrator of the WiFi controller authorizes the FortiAP units that the controller will manage. Preventing IP fragmentation of packets in CAPWAP tunnelsįortiAP units discover WiFi controllers. Wireless client load balancing for high-density deployments This chapter describes how to configure access points for your wireless network.
