same ssid with 2 different profile

[onurg]

Hello,

I have Fortigate 200F with firmware 7.4.1

We have FortiAPs at 2 different locaitons that are using same ssid an profile.

I would like to create 2 different ssid profile so i can create seperate DHCP address range.

Thanks,

Since you can't create two separate SSID sharing the same name I suppose you can achieve your requirement by configuring VLAN assignment by FortiAP group or to use bridged SSID.

Hi @onurg,

SSID can be overridden and configured per FortiAP basis. You can use the following commands:

config wireless-controller wtp
edit <wtp-id>          <<<   FortiAP serial number. 
set override-vaps
set vaps <SSID1>          <<<   Manually set SSID for this FortiAP.
end
config radio-2
set override-vaps
set vaps <SSID1>
end

I wouldn't try keeping the same SSID (broadcast) name if DHCP ranges are different. I would set like "xxx-guest-1" and "xxx-guest-2" so that users can choose which to connect to, especially when each SSID is bound to a particular FAP.
On the same token, we even name like "xxx-guest-5G" and "xxx-guest-24G" so that they can know which radio on one FAP they are connecting to. It makes our troubleshooting (mostly user issues) much easier.

I know I'm not answering your particular question.
