Configuring multiples subnets in FortiWiFi 90D.

Good afternoon,

I'm new in the Fortinet world and I need some help setting up my FortiWiFi 90D.

I am trying to find a way to configure several subnets (or VLANs) in my equipment, for example, adding ports 1, 2 and 3 to one of them and ports 4, 5 and 6 to another one (with different IP ranges).

I have tried changing to "interface mode" ("set-internal-switch-mode interface") and creating a pair of VLANs and assigning ports to them directly (both in graphic mode and through CLI) but I did not get any results (i always get some kind of failure or directly did not appear the option in the corresponding menu).

If someone could give me some kind of information about it I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you so much.

Greetings.

VLANs are sub interfaces. So for what you are describing things don't really need to be VLANs from the perspective of the FortiGate since you don't need multiple networks on the interfaces.(So long as it arrives there untagged). You just need two different hardware switches.

Or, if you do want the packets to arrive tagged, you need to create the VLANs under the hardware switches. So the base untagged network could be whatever you want the management network to be, then the VLANs would be the actual network you want.
