How do I use the 2.5GB port?

[Jayt]

I have MR36 & 46 AP's.  We are using Fortinet 426 switches that have the 2.5GB multigig ports.  I tried to connect the 2 with a normal cat6 cable but the port speed stays at 1GB.  Is there something I need to do on Meraki's side to turn this function on?

Or is it a something on the Fortinet switch I need to change?

Thanks

mGig auto negotiates on the AP. So, if the AP is connected to a mGgig capable port it should come up at whatever the mutual max speed is.

MR36 only has a 1 gig port. the MR46 supports up to 2.5 Gbps. No idea what the Fortinet supports or if it needs special config.

Ok got it. I was testing it on a MR36. The Mr46 shows 2500 on the port speed. No config needed.

Thanks
