Solution
1) To find the interfering/Neighbor FortiAP, we need to enable FortiAP scanning in WIDS-profile as below.
# config wireless-controller wids-profile
edit "profile-name"
set ap-scan enable <----- Enable AP-SCAN.
next
end
2) Map the configured WIDS-profile to the WTP-profile to which FortiAP is configured.
# config wireless-controller wtp-profile
edit "WTP-profile_Name"
# config radio-1
set wids-profile "wids-profile_name"
end
# config radio-2
set wids-profile "wids-profile_name"
end
next
end
3) Now, find the Interfering/Neighbor FortiAP on the FortiAP by executing the below command on the FortiAP CLI is possible.
FAP# cw_diag -c ap-scan
