Managed FortiAPs

The Managed FortiAPs pane allows you to manage FortiAP devices that are controlled by FortiGate devices and are managed by the FortiManager.

FortiAP devices are grouped based on the controller that they are connected to. The devices can also be further divided into groups within a controller.

FortiAP devices can be managed centrally, or per-device (see Creating ADOMs). In per-device mode, all WiFi profiles (SSIDs, AP profiles, and others), as well as managed FortiAP devices, are managed at the device level – there are no shared objects.

Additional configuration options and short-cuts are available using the right-click content menu. Right-click on the mouse on different parts of the navigation panes on the GUI page to access these context menus.

If workspace or workflow is enabled, the ADOM must be locked before changes can be made. See Locking an ADOM.

To manage FortiAP devices:

1. Go to AP Manager > Managed FortiAPs.
2. Select a Managed FortiGate.
   APs for the selected managed FortiGate device are displayed.
3. (Optional) In the toolbar, click List > Group, to view FortiAP groups. See FortiAP groups
