FortiAP
FortiAP devices are thin wireless access points (AP) supporting the latest Wi-Fi technologies (multi-user MIMO 802.11ac Wave 1 and Wave 2, 4x4), as well as 802.11n, 802.11AX , and the demand for plug and play deployment.

Solution
This feature enables SNMP directly on FortiAP by implementing a SNMPD daemon/subagent on the FortiAP side.
FortiAP-S and FortiAP-W2 version 6.2.0 and later support Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) queries and trap messages based on wireless-controller SNMP settings configured on FortiGate.
FortiAP-S and FortiAP-W2 support all SNMP versions (v1,v2,andv3).

Find the below steps to enable FortiAP direct SNMP along with SNMP host configuration.
To configure SNMP operation settings per VDOM:

# config wireless-controller snmp
    set engine-id "fap-fortinet"
    set contact-info "fosqa@fortinet.com"
    set trap-high-cpu-threshold 80
    set trap-high-mem-threshold 80
    # config community
        edit 1
            set name "MP-fap-comm-1"
            set status enable
            set query-v1-status enable
            set query-v2c-status enable
            set trap-v1-status enable
            set trap-v2c-status enable                                
                                config hosts
                                  edit 1
                                  set ip 172.16.200.55 255.255.255.255                  <----- This an example (IP address of SNMP host server).
                                  next
                         end
        next
    end
    # config user
        edit "fap"
            set status enable
            set queries enable
            set trap-status enable
            set security-level no-auth-no-priv
        next
    end
end

To allow SNMP access in FortiAP profiles or per FortiAP.

# config wireless-controller wtp-profile
    edit FAP423E-default
        append allowaccess snmp
    next
end
