I have a customer with a single WAN connection and two separate subnets 192.168.10.x - used for internal office - also needs wifi configured 192.168.20.x - used for general public  Both subnets need internet access Ideally I would want to setup a separate port on the Fortigate for each subnet.

What is the best practice method of installing the Fortigate. Very much a novice! Thanks for your assistance.

    You could do 2 multi-vdom and inter link  or just a single vdom. What is driving you to  key LAB subnet in two  ports for the uplink? Compliance, isolation, policy.....

     

    I don't think a  BCP exist in this case, and your business objects might mandate what you do or not do, imho

    So what does that mean? Does 192.168.10.x never  need  internet access { general public }? If that's the case, than place no firewall policies to allow for that.
