Description
Solution
This article explains how to connect to a FortiAP 5.4 from the Wireless Controller using telnet, http, https or ssh.
Solution
In earlier versions (For example FAP 5.0 or FAP 5.2), connecting to FortiAP from the FortiGate by telnet involved enabling login-enable:
In FortiAP 5.4 the command to enable this is different.
Allow access on "Profile" level:
Allow access on "Device" level:
where: <FortiAP221c_serial number> is the serial number of the FortiAP.
config wireless-controller wtpwhere: <FortiAP221c_serial number> is the serial number of the FortiAP.
edit <FortiAP221c_serial number>
set login-enable enable
end
In FortiAP 5.4 the command to enable this is different.
Allow access on "Profile" level:
config wireless-controller wtp-profilewhere: <profile> FAP220B-default needs to specify the profile which is mapped for the FortiAP.
edit <profile>
set allowaccess {telnet | http | https | ssh}
end
Allow access on "Device" level:
config wireless-controller wtp
edit <FortiAP221c_serial number>
Set override-allowaccess {enable | disable}
Set allowaccess {telnet | http | https | ssh}
end
where: <FortiAP221c_serial number> is the serial number of the FortiAP.
