Bridging a LAN port with a FortiAP SSID

Bridging a LAN port with a FortiAP SSID combines traffic from both sources to provide a single broadcast domain for wired and wireless users.

In this configuration

• The IP addresses for LAN clients come from the DHCP server that serves the wireless clients.

• Traffic from LAN clients is bridged to the SSID’s VLAN. Dynamic VLAN assignment for hosts on the LAN port is not supported.

• Wireless and LAN clients are on the same network and can communicate locally, via the FortiAP.

• Any host connected to the LAN port will be taken as authenticated. RADIUS MAC authentication for hosts on the LAN port is not supported.
