Is it possible to connect a FortiAP directly to a port of a Fortigate where it has several vlans tagged?
I have a FortiAP that I have to connect directly to a 40F and I have several vlans for the different SSIDs.
For this type of architecture do I have to use a hardware switch or a software switch?
Solved! Go to Solution.
I tried it with 802.3ad and it didn't work, but I tested it with a software switch and it worked perfectly.
Hi,
In this case, you can use only an 802.3ad aggregation and use only 1 interface and put Vlan inside this aggregation, or put all Vlans on the connected interface.
Create 1 Vlan for each SSID if you use a bridge mode.
I hope this message helps you.
