Am connecting my fortiap directly to fortigate interface (vlan switch) with name of Data and vlan 5, the interface have dhcp sever enabled, and I have created ssid with vlan 5 so it will be on data vlan and assign ip from dhcp server,

I have the fortiap authorized and had an ip from vlan 5 dhcp, but when a client connected to ssid it will not obtain an ip and instead had apipa address, any ideas on how to get it fixed?

Hi @qsosan,

Good day!

According to the issue description, I understand you are having trouble obtaining an IP address from your DHCP server via VLAN5.

When a DHCP server is unavailable, a machine system is typically assigned an APIPA address.

Please see the documentation below to perform some dhcp debug commands to diagnose the problem.

Hello navellano ,

Thanks for your reply ,

DHCP server is available and assigning address , as i mentioned AP itself assigned an ip from same DHCP pool , however client is not assigning an IP .

I will run some debugs and write it here ,
