Question

Hi,

I am having problem connecting a newly setup internal Wifi for Fortiwifi 60D.

All is good except the clients are unable to get an IP address. I want the new SSID to connect to the internal services and the internet.

 

I have posted the settings in the below link.

    Is it only the FortiWifi giving wireless access or do you have access point as well?

     

    If you have access points then you may want to conigure a bridge mode SSID so clients will be on the same subnet as the internal DHCP server.

     

    If you only have the FWF for wireless you'll need to create a software switch and include your SSID interface as well as your internal interface. 

     

    Alternatively you could place the FWF in transparent mode.
