Same VLAN's on multiple switches
We have 2 fortiswitches for wireless AP's
1 switch is installed
When i come to installing the second switch, I just want the same VLAN's available for the WIFI.
Is this achievable?
Do I just create the same VLANs?
I have a feeling it will tell me they are already in use.
I read about Subnet overlap....is this something I need to enable?
Thanks

The topology will depend on the network requirements. You can find a list of suggested topologies in the guide. In this simple scenario, I think you can choose one of these options:
- Single FortiGate unit managing multiple FortiSwitch units (using a hardware or software switch interface)
- Single FortiGate unit managing a stack of several FortiSwitch units

Spanning same VLAN IDs over different switches is a normal/most common configuration. How are the switch connected to each other, is there a FGT that manages them?

Yes the Fortigate is the Manager of the switches
Do I need to connect the switches to each other as well as to the Fortigate?
Thanks
