Troubleshooting Tip: FortiAP is not able to maintain a mesh link through different radios under FortiEdge Cloud

[ehamud]

Description	This article describes how to allow the Mesh link through different radios.
Scope	FortiAP under FortiEdge Cloud.
Solution	Verify the FortiAP root and FortiAP leaf are online under FortiEdge Cloud. Create a Mesh SSID.         Log in via SSH under the Leaf FortiAP and execute the following commands:  cfg -a MESH_AP_TYPE=1 cfg -a MESH_AP_SSID=MeshSSID_Name cfg -a MESH_AP_PASSWD= Password cfg -c Force the FortiAP leaf to be connected to the 5GHz radio. In this case, the BSSID from the Root FortiAP is needed. To figure out the Root BSSID, execute: vcfg Under the leaf FortiAP, execute the command with the BSSID obtained: cfg -a MESH_AP_BSSID=38:c0:ea:24:0e:81 cfg -c Note: If any other Radio should be used, obtain the BSSID of that specific radio and replace the commands for Mesh configuration. Move the FortiAP leaf to the final location with a line of sight to the FortiAP root The Root FortiAP can show us that FortiAP leaf is connected as a client using 5GHz Radio.
