Migrating in FortiWLM

delve deeply into the art and science of Wi-Fi network tuning, this section will touch on a num-
ber of things that should be checked and, if applicable, adjusted.
There are a number of statistics that should be monitored post-deployment to determine how
well the network is running, such as client counts per radio, channel utilization rates, radio
retry rates, client data rates, application performance, SLAs met, etc.
Monitoring channel utilization rates, for example, can help identify where capacity needs may
be high enough to warrant adding channel capacity. If adding more channel capacity is not the
preferred option to increase throughput capacity, another option could be to upgrade clients
from the existing 11n set to 11ac.
Network monitoring and tuning should be an ongoing activity, as RF environments, client
mixes, application requirements, etc., tend to change over the course of the life of a Wi-Fi net-
work.
Migrating in FortiWLM
In order to facilitate the FAP-U422EV migration within FortiWLC (SD) and FortiWLM, a guide
that describes the process to swap out APs has been created. Once the swap process has
been performed on the controller, FAP-U422EV automatically get updated in FortiWLM.
