My setup:
1x FG80E
1x FS108D
1x FS224D
3x FAP421E
I have a home network/Lab with the above mentioned products. One FortiAP and the FS224D was added today.
The FS108D is connected to the FG via Dedicated to FortiSwitch on port 12. This switch is the main switch, where all networks and APs are connected via VLANs.
Today I added the FS224D to port 11 and on that switch I added the third FortiAP. Then I authorized both devices. This is where the problems start:
[ul]
On port 11, there is no selection Dedicated to FortiSwitch. When I looked at my Managed FortiSwitches I could see them both but it looked like they were both on port 12(!) The switch which I added today might have been attached to port 12 in the past but doing a hard reset on the switch changed nothing. Still appearing on port 12. At this point I deleted the FS224D and added it again manually. Now It's there, but it's no longer "wired" to any port. In the list of interfaces, port 11 is up and green but still no option to dedicate the port though. In Security Fabric > Physical Topology It's red. [ul]The AP behind the FS224D showed up at first when I authorized it. I then selected my AP-profile for it but it remained grayed out and seemed like it didn't get the profile. I added my AP-VLAN to the port on which the AP connects and allowed all VLANs on the uplink switchport and the native port was automatically set to vsw.port12. This changed nothing. Downloading an update to it presented some error. In Security Fabric > Physical Topology It's red.[/ul]The Physical Topolgy view is wrong. According to it, everything is directly attached to the FG80E. The FG and old two FortiAPs are blue, Both FS and the new FAP are red. The only device that updating firmware works on is the FG, after a few errors (aren't there implied rules that allow the other devices to access updates online?). Uploading updates manually doesn't work either. I get errors, even if the firmware should be compatible. [/ul]My build is probably all wrong since I get the feeling that logic from working with other brands does not apply here. I've used the cookbooks to set it all up but unfortunately they don't cover my scenario so I've improvised some. I've already started from scratch several times when I reached the end of the rope. Feels like thats where I'm heading again with this many problems. Mind that it's all been working for months before I tried to add that new HW.
I have plowed through most of the documentation, searching for keywords but I'm not finding good answers. From my description above, what can you guys read out?
