    739305

    After being authenticated on a bridge-mode external captive-portal SSID, clients can log out via an HTTP or HTTPS URL:

    • http://[FAP IP]:5000/logout
    • https://[FAP IP]:5001/logout

    The REST API to log out a client by MAC address:

    • URL: https://[FAP IP]/cp-logout
    • Method: POST
    • Data: macaddr=[client MAC address]

    739309

    Support for "hitless" failover in FortiGate HA cluster (active-passive mode only).

    739312

    802.11ax FortiAP-U models report operating temperature (degree Celsius) to FortiGate WiFi Controller.

    739313

    Local-standalone NAT-mode SSID can configure optional DNS servers to assign out to wireless clients through DHCP.

    741444
