  • Page 27: Controller Discovery

    Controller Discovery The FortiAP boots up with the default FortiWLC AP image and tries to discover the FortiWLC, FortiGate, and FortiCloud controllers simultaneously. The FortiAP connects to the controller that is first discovered. • If FortiWLC controller is discovered, the unit continues booting up with the default FortiWLC image.
  • Page 28 FortiAP Cloud Deployment Follow these steps to complete the FortiAP Cloud discovery. Visit http://www.fortiapcloud.com and sign in or create a new account. Click Inventory > Import AP Key and enter the unique FortiAP Cloud key located on your FortiAP device, then click Submit. Deploy the FortiAP to an existing AP network, or create a new AP network, then click Submit.
  • Page 29 Follow the prompts to associate the FortiAP device to an SSID. Connect your FortiAP to an Internet connection. This can be a modem or another source of Internet connectivity. Configure the discovered FortiAP.
  • Page 30 FortiGate Deployment To complete the FortiGate controller discovery process, you need to authorize the FortiAP on the FortGate.

  • Page 31: Zero Configuration

    Zero Configuration The FortiAP unit is designed to require no configuration in most networks. Zero configuration mode works if the unit is on the same layer-2 network and subnet as the FortiWLC, or if the unit is on the same layer-3 network and subnet as the FortiGate or FortiCloud controller. If the FortiAP wireless controller’s IP address cannot be determined using Zero Configuration mode, or if the network uses static IP addresses, it can be configured to use a static IP address.
  • Page 32 The discovery modes for FortiGate controller are: • DHCP option 138 • • Multicast • Broadcast • Static Controller IP address The discovery mode for FortiCloud controller is: • FortiCloud Protocol 3. Verify that the FortiAP has successfully connected to the controller in the FortiWLC/FortiCloud/ FortiGate WebUI.
  • Page 33 Manual IP Configuration and Controller Discovery To enable the FortiAP with a static IP address: 1. Connect the FortiAP device to a seperate private switch or hub. 2. Access the AP console through the serial port. 3. To configure FortiAP’s own IP address, type ip config net static address <ip-address> netmask <netmask ip-address>...
