Adding AP tags

When you configure a wireless network (SSID), you decide whether the SSID is available to all APs or to a certain groups of APs. A group of APs is formed by assigning the same tag to them. For example, if there are 10 APs in your AP network, you could create 2 AP groups based on AP model or by their physical location.

Use AP tags to control which SSIDs to broadcast on a group of FortiAP devices.
