Description This article will explain how to verify if the WiFi client is connected wirelessly, which SSID it is connected to, and some of the connection details.
Scope FortiGate v7.2.4+.
Solution

The most common command to use in order to verify which client is still connected wirelessly to a managed FortiAP or local radio is the following.

 

diag wireless-controller wlac -d sta

 

Add the MAC address of the specific client at the end of the command for details on the specified client

 

diag wireless-controller wlac -d sta aa:bb:bb:aa:bb:bb

 

When there's multiple cw_acd daemons are added using the following wireless-controller global command the recommended diagnostics command to get the details of a client changes as the data may not be fully synchronized on all daemons.

 

config wireless-controller global
    set acd-process-count 2
end

 

It is best to use the following command to see the status of the client instead.

 

diag wireless-controller wlac -p data -d sta

 

It is also possible to view the data that each daemon has using the following. This shows an example where the acd-count is set to 2.

 

The following shows the parent daemon data.

 

diag wireless-controller wlac -p 0 -d sta

 

The following will show the child daemon processes data.


diag wireless-controller wlac -p 1 -d sta
diag wireless-controller wlac -p 2 -d sta
