How do I set up 2 FortiAP 28C's on the same subnet?  If I create both units under Virtual Domains, WiFi Controller, WiFi Network, SSID on the FortiGate 310B, I get an error "IP address is in same subnet as the others".  How do I fix this?  Thanks!

    Are you trying to assign the same subnet to two separete SSIDs or is the range overlapping with other interfaces (eg internal) on your Fortigate?

     

    Either way you could use a software switch:

    Create a software switch, and assign the SSIDs and interfaces to the software switch.

    If it's just overlapping your internal range and the access points are installed directly in the LAN, you might want to change your wifis from tunneled to bridge mode:

    The IP addresses were overlapping so I had to set the IP's so that it wouldn't overlap.  It took me a while to figure out the subnet mask but that's what I did to figure out this problem.
