Technical Tip: Moving Wi-Fi SSIDs in Tunnel traffic mode to a faster interface

[Renante_Era]

Description	This article describes the process of moving Wi-Fi SSID tunnel to a faster interface. For instance, the current FortiAP (FAP)'s SSIDs are connected to a 1G port3 and network administrator prefer to move that to a 10G x1 interface.
Scope	FortiGate FortiOS 7.2.+
Solution	Log into the FortiGate GUI and confirm the SSID's traffic mode by navigating to WiFi & Switch Controller -> SSID. Open Network -> Interfaces and edit the desired port, for instance x1. Assign the corresponding IP address/netmask and enable Security Fabric in the Administrative Access. Unplug the UTP interface connected to previous interface if needed (port3) and connect that to the destination interface (x1). Alternatively, assign a different IP address/netmask on x1, then connect the FortiAP to x1 or to the switch where the FortiAP are connected. Navigate to WiFi & Switch Controller to confirm that the FortiAPs are now online.
