Question

hi,

I am a beginner in the world of Fortigate, I have a Fortigate 100D and unmanaged switches (switch L2 only), is this Fortigate can be a VLANs server, ie create and manage the VLANs without the need for an L3 switch? I tried to create VLANs nd enable DHCP to distribute IP addresses to workstations, but none of my clients receive the IP address?

 

 

best regard,

    Although the switch may not be managed, is it VLAN aware? If you pass VLAN traffic, does it get forwarded without getting clobbered?

    VLAN is not L3 but L2.

    And yes, your switches need to be able to handle VLAN traffic. On the FGT, you are able to create tagged VLAN ports.
