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.

Manual Update

1. Navigate to Network Devices > Topology.

2. Expand the Container that stores the device.

3. Select the device and right-click.

4. Click Resync Interfaces. This resynchronizes the FortiNAC software and the device configuration.

Automated Update

The Scheduler task Resynchronize Device, which is associated to a group of controllers, will do the same thing as Resync Interfaces. It is suggested this Scheduler task be created and run daily.

1. Navigate to System > Scheduler.

2. From the Scheduler view, click Add.

3. The Enabled check box is selected by default. Uncheck it if you want this task to be disabled.

4. Enter a Name for the task and an optional description.

5. In the Action Type field, select System.

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

7. 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.

8. 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.
