FortiAP issue connected to fortiswitch

[ghofer]

Hey All, 

I'm right in the middle of adding FortiSwitches to my current network. As of now, I have tp-link switches. I've already gone ahead and made a config converted over to fortilink and achieved basic connectivity, inter-vlan the whole nine yards. However, when I went to connect the fortiaps I can't seem to access them. I've gone ahead and made statics on each fortiap and still no luck. On the old switches, they worked perfectly and on the new ones I can't get them to connect at all. Any ideas would greatly help on what to check. When these fortiaps were connected to the fortiswitches, I couldn't get them to authorize in the fortigate nor could I access the HTTPs interface. When connected to old tp link switch no issues accessing the interface. The interface connected to these aps is configured as a trunk group with native-vlan being the same one configured on the tp-link. I don't have issues with any other device other than the fortiaps. 

I'm using FortiSwitch 148F-POE and a mixture of FP-321Es and FP-221Es.

No worries. I called support. They informed me that I had to do DHCP and couldn't keep with the static configuration that was causing issues with paring. All good now.
