PoE and USB Diagnostics for FortiAPs
FortiEdge Cloud now displays PoE Mode and USB Port details for managed FortiAPs on the Wireless > Access Points page. The table shows both the configured and actual operating modes, providing administrators with real time visibility into Power over Ethernet (PoE) negotiation and USB port status. Comparing these modes helps to identify and troubleshoot hardware power constraints that can degrade AP radio performance.
This information is also available in the new PoE & USB tab within the Access Point Diagnostics and Tools window.
