I Can't Rename FortiAP Profile

Hello, dears,

I hope this message find you well.

 

I am trying to rename a FortiAP Profile, which is not the default one. However, there is no button or option.

I also checked the CLI from the profile, but there was no option, at least I could not find one, for renaming the profile.

 

I would appreciate any help.

I think you have to either clone it (GUI) with a different name or copy the profile into a text editor, change the name, then paste it into the CLI.

Hi Sagvan,

 

To rename a FortiAP profile, access the FortiGate GUI, navigate to WiFi and Switch Controller -> FortiAP Profiles, select the profile to rename, and edit the profile settings to change its name.

Hello Anthony_E,

 

Once a FortiAP has been created, you are unable to rename it.
