Overview

The information in this document provides guidance for configuring FortiAP devices to be managed by FortiNAC. The order of the topics presented in the Device Configuration section of this document does not represent the order in which the configuration must be done. Due to changes in device or FortiNAC software, the configuration order is subject to change. Therefore, this document simply details the items that must be configured to enable the management and control of users connecting to FortiAPs.

For additional information on configuring FortiAP, refer to the Administration Guide in the Fortinet Document Library.
