Question

We are looking into a Remote FortiAP solution but have the need for one ethernet port for a printer.

 

Do anyone know if it´s possible to use a FortiAP in Remote Mode with two ethernet ports like FAP-421E and configure one port for printer VLAN?

    Hello Robin,

     

    Please let me know if I understood your requirement correctly.

     

    Switch/Router=======WAN-Port(FAP421E)-------(VLANID-100)LAN-Port=====Printer

     

    If this is your requirement, you can achieve this by bridging the LAN Port to a SSID with a VLAN ID.

     

    1. In FAP you have to configure the following CLI to change the 2nd WAN Port as a LAN Port

    cfg -a WANLAN_MODE=WAN-LAN

    cfg -c

     

    2. Configure a SSID with the VLAN ID

     

    FGT60E # show wireless-controller vap FGT-60E-BR-Open config wireless-controller vap edit "FGT-60E-BR-Open" set ssid "FGT-60E-BR-Open" set security open set local-bridging enable set schedule "always" set vlanid 100

     

    3. In FOS WTP_Profile

    FGT60E # config wireless-controller wtp-profile

    FGT60E (wtp-profile) # edit FAP421E-default

    FGT60E (FAP421E-default) # set wan-port-mode wan-lan FGT60E (FAP421E-default) # config lan

    FGT60E (lan) # set port-mode bridge-to-ssid FGT60E (lan) # set port-ssid FGT-60E-BR-Open

    FGT60E (lan) # end

     

    The above config will make the Printer part of VLAN100.

     

    Thanks.
