DHCP and Fortigate 30E with UBNT UAP-AC-Pro-Gen2

All,

 

Recently purchased a Fortigate 30E to replace my old linux iptables

and linksys ap.

 

30E firmware: v6.0.4 build0231 (GA)

UBNT Firmware: 4.0.21.9965

 

When I enabled DHCP for lan on 30e, the wired side is fine.

The Access point is a UBNT UAP-AC-Pro-Gen2. None of the

AP clients are able to retrieve a IP from the 30E.

 

When I disable the DHCP on the 30E and enable it on the linksys,

the clients work as expected through the UBNT AP and the wired side.

 

I do show on the 30E clients are assigned IP addresses, however

they are not shown on the actual device via network information.

 

My Wifi Devices:

- Laptop in win10 pro

- Nexus 5X

- Samsung Galaxy Tab A

 

I did run a few traces, from the 30E, it receives the Discover and offers an

IP, however nothing is returned.

 

On the AP, the request is not seen from the 30E, however when I add the linksys

back into the network, I do see the request from the linksys via the AP.

 

 

 

 

Please Advise,

 

Joe

Here's an update.

 

Below is the output from a capture from the UNIFI AP.

 

The packet is traversing the network correctly and out the AP.

 

However, the client is not accepting the IP offered via the fortinet

over Wifi, it is accepting the IP via the linksys.

 

For fortinet,

What is "option 224" and how can I disable this on the fortinet.?

Hi Joe, we are having the same issue 100E and same Unifi APs as you are using. Did you ever get a solution to this issue?

jhopkins

Either of you find a fix for this issue? We have numerous sites experiencing the same.

We ran into a similar issue, between a FGT 30E and Ubiquiti AP directly patched, the AP was getting an IP from DHCP but the client's were not. It turned out to be the Access point wasn't allowing broadcast from the ForiGate, once the AP allowed broadcast this fixed our issue.
