FortiAP through VPN

Hello Fortinet community,

I try to connect a FortiAP (FAP221E) to a Fortigate 60F, working as the controller through a VPN IPsec connection.

I changed the AC Discovery Type to manual on the AP, with the IP of the controller. The AP is well displayed in the Managed Forti APs list on the controller, i can authorize it, but it still stay offline.

Can you please help me to understand (and solve of course) what happens and why the AP stays offline ?

Thank you.

BR,

David.

Dear All,

I found the solution. The security fabric was not activated in my Ipsec tunnel interface... And in the 6.4.7, it includes the capwap. All is ok now.

Thank you for your advices....
