Chapter 6 Deploying Wireless Networks for FortiOS 5.0 : Access point deployment : LAN port options : Bridging a LAN port with the WAN port
  
Bridging a LAN port with the WAN port
Bridging a LAN port with the WAN port enables the FortiAP unit to be used as a hub which is also an access point.
In this configuration
• The IP addresses for LAN clients come from the WAN directly and will typically be in the same range as the AP itself.
• All LAN client traffic is bridged directly to the WAN interface.
• Communication between wireless and LAN clients can only occur if a policy on the FortiGate unit allows it.
For configuration instructions, aee “Configuring FortiAP LAN ports”, below.
