The following table includes FortiAP-W2 version 7.4.1 new features and enhancements:

Bug ID

Description

382534

Display the Patch number in firmware version, and report the version information with Patch number to the FortiGate.

Note: FortiGates running FortiOS version 7.4.0 and earlier still can show the FortiAP version without the Patch number.

892552

 Local-bridging and external-web captive-portal SSID supports dynamic VLAN assignment.

920579

Enhance dynamic VLAN assignment based on the RADIUS attribute Tunnel-Private-Group-Id:

  1. A pool of VLAN IDs (up to 8) can be configured per VLAN name tag;
  2. Assign each client a VLAN ID from the pool by a Round-robin method.

940570

Improve DNS mechanism for Access Controller (AC) Discovery.

  1. FortiAP retrieves the AC domain suffix from DHCP option 15 (e.g. "example.com"), which can be configured on a 3rd-party DHCP server;
  2. FortiAP has the default AC hostname "fortinet-capwap-controller" and combines it with the AC domain suffix as one FQDN (e.g. "fortinet-capwap-controller.example.com") for AC discovery by DNS method;
  3. When necessary, the AC hostname can be customized by configuring AC_HOSTNAME_1/2/3 without the "." character on the FortiAP.
