hi

Fortilink/CAPWAP through Nanostations 

it is recommended to enable WDS mode in wireless tab and STP (Spinning tree protocol) in the network part in case you will have loop. and using Static IP addresses for Nanostations  to access them later.

Enable the FortiLink point-to-point network on each FortiSwitch unit and set the speed on 100full (sometimes we need this because of the UBNT POE adapter speed):

You can access the FortiSwitch CLI via Console cable, and Putty or from FortiGate.

config switch physical-port

edit <port_name connected to nanostation>

set fortilink-p2p enable

set speed 100full

end

 

After connecting both Nanostations and switches on sites you should see Switches Online.
