Consider the diagram below for reference.
- Both the FortiGate should be reachable to the FortiAP.
- Security Fabric connection to be enabled on both the FortiGate interfaces through which the FortiAP shall communicate.
- Configure the interface IPs of both the FortiGate. onto the FortiAP CLI
For example, there is FortiGate -1 with interface IP 10.37.165.194 and FortiGate -2 with interface IP 10.37.164.34.
Login to the FortiAP CLI to configure the FortiGate's interface IPs :
cfg -a AC_DISCOVERY_TYPE=1 cfg -a AC_IPADDR_1:10.37.165.194 cfg -a AC_IPADDR_2:=10.37.164.3
cfg -c
To see the configuration is applied on FortiAP CLI :
FortiAP-231F # cfg -s BAUD_RATE:=9600 WTP_VERSION:=FortiAP-231F v7.4.2,build0634,231228 (GA) FIRMWARE_UPGRADE:=0 FACTORY_RESET:=0 LOGIN_PASSWD_ENC:=QMQWx8zyVMI/pNs7EOKon066L2pDQbWqFN9skwFX2WTDPXxYhi5TJAFBQYj80kJ55PzLMR2vNvU7v9Vow1GUsRkYGwZ/2YYpFIiqjs8ZaO/cH27VAmK7SoWffu/z6PunSp3IYrRMMIyXoyQ3ypQtx4HbmFeC1scTqYbHjdf9rDL7rQku98DY7c18O0ZWFGMVnq8lxw== FIPS_CC:=0 FIPS_RESEED_INTV:=1440 ADMIN_TIMEOUT:=5 WANLAN_MODE:=WAN-ONLY AP_MODE:=0 STP_MODE:=0 AP_MGMT_VLAN_ID:=0 ADDR_MODE:=DHCP AP_IPADDR:=192.168.1.2 AP_NETMASK:=255.255.255.0 IPGW:=192.168.1.1 DNS_SERVER:=208.91.112.53 ALLOW_HTTPS:=2 ALLOW_SSH:=2 AC_DISCOVERY_TYPE:=1 AC_IPADDR_1:=10.37.165.194 AC_IPADDR_2:=10.37.164.34 AC_IPADDR_3:= AC_HOSTNAME_1:=_capwap-control._udp.example.com AC_HOSTNAME_2:= AC_HOSTNAME_3:= AC_DISCOVERY_MC_ADDR:=224.0.1.140 AC_DISCOVERY_DHCP_OPTION_CODE:=138 AC_DISCOVERY_FCLD_APCTRL:= AC_CTL_PORT:=5246 AP_DATA_CHAN_SEC:=clear,dtls,ipsec BONJOUR_GW:=2 MESH_AP_TYPE:=0 LED_STATE:=2 POE_MODE:=0 WAN_1X_ENABLE:=0 WAN_1X_USERID:= WAN_1X_PASSWD_ENC:= WAN_1X_METHOD:=0
This means the FortiAP will communicate with FortiGate -1 as it is set with AC_IPADDR_1:=10.37.165.194 and if for some reason FortiGate -1 is
down then the FortiAP will attempt to reach to FortiGate -2 that is AC_IPADDR_2:=10.37.164.34
FortiAP will maintain the list of FortiGate IPs :
FortiAP-231F # cw_diag -c ha

Discovered AC list: ip=10.37.164.34 allow=1 pri=1 dtls=3 wtp=1/16 sta=0/65535
To check the FortiAP connection state :

When the FortiGate -1 becomes unreachable the FortiAP will connect to FortiGate -2.

Note: When FortiGate-1 is unreachable the FortiAP will go offline and there will be a disruption in the services for the time when FortiAP connects
to FortiGate-2.
