VLAN Probe

VLAN probe feature enables FortiAPs to probe connected VLANs and subnets. It sends DHCP probes from the FortiAP’s Ethernet interface to specific VLANs on the wired interface and returns information on their availability and subnet details. This helps diagnose and troubleshoot WiFi deployment issues.

AP – Select the FortiAP. FOS version 6.4.0 and higher are supported.
WAN Port – Select the 1st or 2nd Ethernet port of the FortiAP to initiate the VLAN probe.
VLAN Range – Select the range of VLANs to probe. The valid range is 1 -4094.
Timeout – Configure the timeout for the VLAN probe. The valid range is 1 – 60 seconds with a default value of 10 seconds.
Retries – Configure the number of retries before timeout. The valid range is 1 to 10 with a default value of 6.

Select Start and the FortiAP initiates VLAN probe as per configurations.
