When enabling a Security Fabric connection on a FortiGate interface to manage FortiAP devices, which two types of CAPWAP communication channels are established between FortiGate and the FortiAP devices'? (Choose two)
When enabling a Security Fabric connection on a FortiGate interface to manage FortiAP devices, the following two types of CAPWAP (Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points) communication channels are established:
Control channels:
Correct. The control channel is used for management and control information between the FortiGate (controller) and FortiAP. This includes configuration, monitoring, and state updates.
Data channels:
Correct. The data channel carries client traffic between the FortiAP and FortiGate. This enables the FortiGate to apply security policies, content filtering, and other services to wireless client data.
Analysis of Other Options:
C. Security channels:
There is no specific “security channel” in CAPWAP terminology.
D. Fortlink channels:
FortLink is used for FortiSwitch management, not FortiAPs. CAPWAP is the protocol for FortiAP management.
[References:, FortiOS 7.4 Administration Guide, Wireless Controller and CAPWAP sections: “The communication between the FortiGate and FortiAP uses CAPWAP, which establishes both a control channel for management and a data channel for client traffic.”, ]
