Description This article describes the configuration steps required to send the Disconnect Message (DM) to the Clients connected to the Meraki MR access point.
Scope FortiNAC-F.
Solution

When Meraki MR access points are managed standalone via FortiNAC. A custom Disconnect Message (Disconnect-Request) should be configured for the Meraki AP to disconnect the host and trigger a VLAN change.

 

Method:

Use custom RFC5176 mode with 'Disconnect Message' and two AVPs, which are:

  1. Event-Timestamp.
  2. Calling-station-id.

 

Create a custom Radius Attribute group with the above AVPs and call it inside the custom RFC5176 Mode under the model configuration of each Meraki MR access point.
