Troubleshooting Tip: Bridge mode SSID needs to be added manually to FortiAP profile.
Description
This article describes how to map bridge mode SSID to FortiAP profile.
Scope
FortiAP.
Solution
By default, only the tunnel mode SSIDs will be enabled on the FortiAPs. To enable and make the FortiAP broadcast any bridge mode SSID, the SSID option on the Forti-AP profile needs to be set to manual and an already created bridge mode SSID has to be added.
An other requirement is to enable tunnel mode SSIDs for the respective profile, since the SSID option is set to manual.
- In the GUI: Go to Wi-Fi & Switch controller -> FortiAP Profiles -> SSIDs, then select Manual.
- Add the previously configured SSIDs, as shown in the screenshot below.
In the CLI:
config wireless-controller wtp-profile
edit FAP210B-defau1t
config radio-1
set vap-a11 disable
set vaps MP-SSID
end
Note: For the radio-2, the SSID needs to be manually added on the FortiAP profile.
