Hello everyone
Network requirements:
One SSID
100 - fortilink vlans
There will be wired and wireless devices in each vlan, they must be in the same subnet/broadcast domain.
400 devices
What is better to use?
SSID with MPSK in bridge mode
or
SSID with MPSK in tunnel mode + software switch (ssid vlan + fortiswitch vlan)
or is there another solution?
Why 100 VLANs? Why should they all be in the same broadcast domain?
This question is impossible to answer without more details. Bridge mode or tunnel mode depends 100% on the requirements and the rest of the access network design.
This is a hotel, we don't want the guest to see the TV from another room while sharing the screen from e.g. an iPhone to the TV in his room
The point is that both solutions I suggested do this, but I wonder which one is more appropriate
I would say Bridge mode for this just to prioritize performance and reduce latency for this TV/sharing use-case.
That being said, there are far better ways to handle this type of hospitality use-case.
Can you elaborate on your idea regarding better methods?
We have FGT+FSW+FAP at our disposal, is there something better to configure on the devices in this case?
