Connecting FortiExtender and Fortigate (FortiWifi)
Hello. I am trying to connect the other party's FortiWIFI-40F through FortiExtender 511F and FortiWifi-61E.
FortiExtender 511F is equipped with a SIM to enable 5G communication.
What I am curious about is the Ethernet connection between FortiExtender-511F and FortiWifi-61E
I need to connect AWS's TGW to VPN using the 5G network, and the other party also needs to connect to VPN through FortiWIFI-40F.
AWS's TGW has already been created and tested for connection to FortiWIFI-40F and VPN, but the connection between FortiExtender-511F and Fortiwifi-61E is not working well, so I am asking the community.
Current situation is
Me
FortiExtender-511F-> 5G network connected
FortiWifi-61E -> PC connected to the lower level and management access possible
Both devices are connected to the lower level PC with serial console
Opposite party
FortiWIFI-40F -> Connected to the ISP and internet network and there is a lower level PC
Management access is set between the PC and the firewall
I am trying to connect VPN by receiving a fixed IP for the 5G network from FortiExtender-511F,
and I would like to ask whether I should use NAT mode or IP pass-through.
I don't understand it well even after looking at the manual, so I would like to get help from someone who has already done it.

I solved this problem.
In the end, I connected LAN 1 of FortiExtender and LAN7 of FortiWiFI,
and after matching the IP band, I succeeded in connecting FortiWiFi to FortiExtender.
Now I need to connect each other's UTM through AWS's TGW.
Thank you.
