FortiLAN Cloud Key Import and FortiAP Deployment

Because FortiAPs can be managed by a FortiGate or by FortiLAN Cloud, they have to be informed that they belong in the FortiLAN Cloud portal. Every FortiAP has a FortiLAN Cloud Key. For convenience, there is also the option to ‘purchase’ a no cost bulk key on a multiple FortiAP order. The individual cloud key can be found on the FortiAP, and the bulk key, if there is one, can be found on the purchase order.

Once the FortiAPs (and any FortiSwitches) are added to the device inventory via the cloud key(s), they can be deployed to the appropriate network.
