Update FortiNAC After Controller or AP Changes

Update FortiNAC After Controller or AP Changes

For proper functionality, FortiNAC should be updated when any of the following components are changed or added to the controller:

  • APs

  • SSIDs

  • VLANs

  • AP's IP Address

If this is not done, FortiNAC will not be able to be configured to use these components in the Device Model.

This update is done using the Resync Interfaces tool in the UI. There are two ways to run the tool:

  • Manual Update: See Resync Interfaces in the Administration Guide for instructions.

  • Automated Update using Scheduler: See section Add a task in the Administration Guide for instructions.

    • From the list of system actions, select Resynchronize Device.

    • From the Group dropdown list, select the group on which the action will be performed. The list contains only the group types specific to that Action. The WLCs are automatically part of the L2 Wireless Devices group. If desired, a new device group could be created.

From the Schedule Type drop down list, select either Fixed Day or Repetitive and set the day and time that the task is to be performed. It is suggested to run the task daily.
