New Features

FortiEdge Cloud 26.1 delivers the following features/enhancements to FortiEdge Cloud. For more information, see FortiEdge Cloud User Guide for Release 26.1.

Feature

Description

Device Support

This release of FortiEdge Cloud now supports the following FortiAP device:

  • FAP-244K

  • FAP-222KL

LoRaWAN Profile Configuration

FortiEdge Cloud now supports the configuration of LoRaWAN operation profiles directly through the GUI. This allows supported FortiAPs (such as the outdoor 222KL model) to function as LoRaWAN Gateways, securely relaying traffic from IoT sensors to a LoRaWAN Network Server (LNS) over long distances.

Deployment Status Synchronization with FortiZTP

Previously, device deployment or undeployment actions performed in FortiEdge Cloud were not reflected in FortiZTP, leading to status discrepancies.

To resolve this, FortiEdge Cloud has been enhanced to send portal-level events directly to the FortiZTP message queue. This ensures that FortiZTP now accurately reflects real-time deployment status changes initiated in FortiEdge Cloud.

Multiple External Access Controllers (AC) for FortiAP

FortiAP provisioning via FortiEdge Cloud and FortiZTP now supports the configuration of up to three external Access Controller (AC) entries, to support greater flexibility and redundancy during the discovery process.

Administrators can now define a combination of IPv4 addresses, IPv6 addresses, and FQDNs for dispatching. Once configured, the FortiAP utilizes these entries to automatically locate and connect to the specified external controller for centralized configuration and policy management.

Note: FortiEdge Cloud does not determine the active Access Controller (AC) and this selection is made solely by the FortiAP.
