Please help me

I want to set it up like this: I have FortiGate, a Ruijie managed switch, and several APs. FortiGate port 3 will connect to the switch, and the APs will connect to the switch as well. I want mobile devices connected to the APs to be on the same IP subnet as the FortiGate and Ruijie.

FortiGate

Best answer by sjoshi

depends on your AP

what is the AP vendor you are using?

Most AP comes with Bridge mode by default, once the user connects to AP they should be receiving IP from the FortiGate

Most APs should be able to pass DHCP requests from the clients to the FGT after wireless portion was connected. You just need to set up DHCP server on port3 at the FGT.
