New features or enhancements New features or enhancements The following table includes FortiAP version 7.4.1 new features and enhancements: Bug ID 382534 753332 819611 890279 892552 903097 909586 920073 920579 Description Display the Patch number in firmware version, and report the version information with Patch number to the FortiGate. Note: FortiGates running FortiOS version 7.4.0 and earlier still can show the FortiAP version without the Patch number. Foreground scanning improvements: The 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz channels to be scanned can be pre-configured from the FortiGate. This way, channels are not being scanned all the time. Support for new model FortiAP-432FR. Note: FortiAP-432FR can be managed by FortiGate running FortiOS 7.0.8, 7.2.1 and later. Support logging BLE raw data and sending it to the FortiPresence server. Local-bridging and external-web captive-portal SSID supports dynamic VLAN assignment. Wi-Fi 6E Models only: Support Trusted Platform Module (TPM). The TPM feature is disabled by default. To enable TPM, enter the following commands in the FortiAP CLI: cfg -a TPM=1 cfg -c To disable TPM: cfg -a TPM=0 cfg -c Support Polestar NAO Track integration and asset management. To check the PoleStar RTLS configuration, enter cw_diag -c ble-polestar in the FortiAP CLI. Site Survey improvements. 1. Configure channel-bonding bandwidth for site survey SSID New CLI variables are added for 2.4GHz and 5GHz bandwidth respectively: SURVEY_CW_24 = 0(20MHz) | 1(40MHz) SURVEY_CW_50 = 0(20MHz) | 1(40MHz) | 2(80MHz) | 3(160MHz) 2. Support 6 GHz spectrum (Wi-Fi 6E Models only) New CLI variables are added for 6GHz channel, bandwidth, and transmit power: SURVEY_CH_60 = <6GHz channel number> SURVEY_CW_60 = 0(20MHz) | 1(40MHz) | 2(80MHz) | 3(160MHz) SURVEY_TX_POWER_60 = <6GHz transmit power in dBm> Enhance dynamic VLAN assignment based on the RADIUS attribute Tunnel-PrivateGroup-Id: 1. A pool of VLAN IDs (up to 8) can be configured per VLAN name tag; 2. Assign each client a VLAN ID from the pool by a Round-robin method. FortiAP 7.4.1 Release Notes 6 Fortinet Inc. New features or enhancements Bug ID 921109 931158 940570 Description Support for MIMO mode configuration. CAPWAP Auto Health Check feature. FortiAP periodically checks the real-time status of CAPWAP connections to the AP controllers (AC). In the FortiAP CLI, enter cw_diag -c acs-chan-stats to get the current results. For additional diagnosis, use cw_diag debug ping_ac to enable AC IP ping check and set ping interval (disabled by default). Improve DNS mechanism for AC Discovery. 1. FortiAP retrieves the AC domain suffix from DHCP option 15 (e.g. "example.com"), which can be configured on a 3rd-party DHCP server; 2. FortiAP has the default AC hostname "fortinet-capwap-controller" and combines it with the AC domain suffix as one FQDN (e.g. "fortinet-capwapcontroller.example.com") for AC discovery by DNS method; 3. When necessary, the AC hostname can be customized by configuring AC_HOSTNAME_ 1/2/3 without the "." character on the FortiAP. Region/country code update and DFS certification Bug ID 601676 911456 913393 919757 924432 924783 926677 936150 Description Enable 5GHz UNII-1 and UNII-2 channels and adjust transmit power for region code "F" (Indonesia).
