Error in the GUI:
|
| Scope |
FortiGate v7.2 and above. |
| Solution |
As per the FortiAPs datasheet we can add up to 8 SSIDs per client serving radio and 7 SSIDs if background scanning is enabled. To add 8 SSIDs keep:
Under FortiGate GUI -> Wi-Fi & Switch Controller -> SSID -> Advanced Settings, disable 802.11v assisted roaming and 802.11k assisted roaming.
Reason: Enabling 802.11v and 802.11k will enable background scanning on the ForitAP unit. |
