    The FortiAP unit is designed to require no configuration in most networks. Zero configuration mode works if the unit is directly Zero connected to a Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) or is on the same layer-2 network and subnet as the FortiWLC, or if the unit is directly Configuration connected to the FortiGate LAN Controller or is on the same layer-3 network and subnet as the FortiGate or FortiCloud controller.
  • Page 17 To enable the FortiAP using Zero Configuration: 1. After connecting the FortiAP unit as described in the previous Zero chapter, the unit goes through its boot procedure and requests an IP address from the DHCP server. Configuration If the IP address is retrieved successfully, the FortiAP enters discovery mode to locate a Controller.
