Question

How to accessing the FortiAP CLI through the FortiManager?

We are using FAP831F model and trying to aggregate the two LAN ports into one aggregate link. For aggregating multiple LAN ports in AP, enable the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) from the FortiAP CLI.

 

I just want to know that Is there a way to enable LACP in FortiAP from FortiManager except direct accessing FortiAP CLI or accessing FortiAP CLI from FortiGate?

Hello,

 

I have found this document:

 

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortimanager/6.4.5/administration-guide/256019/access-points

 

Could you please tell me if it answers to your question?

Hey ckkpos93,

 

as far as I can tell from FortiAP documentation, this is not possible:

"You can only enable the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) from the FortiAP CLI. The commands for enabling LACP differ depending on the FortiAP model type."

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortiap/7.2.1/fortiwifi-and-fortiap-configuration-guide/822535/lan-port-aggregation-and-redundancy

 

You can technically access the FortiAP CLI from FortiManager (CLI to FortiGate, and enter FortiAP CLI from there, for example), but the command itself can only be set on FortiAP from what I have been able to find.
