Question

Accessing FAP221C web interface

We have a number of FAP221C units managed through our Fortigate FG200E.

I would like to connect to the web interface of each AP, just to see what's going on with each unit.

I created a policy to allow traffic to the IPs of the APs in the wireless subnet.  I can ping the units on their IP, but I can't access the web interface.

So I suspect that I might actually need to get a longer ethernet cable and connect directly to the units up in the roof space.  Does anyone happen to know if that is required in order to see the web interface?  I read elsewhere that the default IP of each AP would be 192.168.1.2 (or something like that).

    Did you allow "https" access to the APs at the profiles? In GUI, "Administrative Access" checkboxes. In CLI, under "config wireless-controller wtp-profile" then edit the profile name, and "set allowaccess https".

    Interesting. 

    I'm running FortiOS v5.6.11 and there is no option for "Administrative Access" anywhere in the GUI.  I checked with both Chrome and IE just to be sure that something wasn't rendering right.

    Have been able to set it via CLI though ... thanks!

    Will need to reboot APs tomorrow morning to pick up the change.

    An GUI example found on the internet:
