A is confirmed as per study guide page 80;

AP Discovery Methods
FortiAP devices cycle through six methods to locate and connect to FortiGate:

DHCP
• By default, FortiAP uses DHCP option 138 to get the controller IP

Static
• You can configure FortiAP with a static controller IP

DNS
• FortiAP can discover the controller by using a hostname configured in the AC_HOSTNAME_1 parameter

FortiLAN Cloud
• FortiAP uses the hostname apctrl1.forticloud.com for FortiLAN Cloud management

Multicast
• FortiAP can discover the controller by using the multicast address 224.0.1.140

Broadcast
• FortiAP broadcasts a discovery request to locate the controller

Hi admin, on pg 80 from study guide the sequence/cycle list starts with Static and then DHCP, so the first discovery method on default seems to be C. Static.

This is a tricky one.

DHCP (Discovery Method)
* By default, FortiAP uses DHCP option 138 to get the controller IP.
Default = DHCP option 138

If we check page 80 and the slide, what is the First Method in the list?
It is Static.

"By default, the FortiAP descovery method is set to auto, which means that the AP will cycle through the discovery methods and sequence shown on this slide to locate a wireless controller."
