Configuring LAN ports for an FortiAP unit - web-based manager
If your FortiAP units use the automatic AP profile, you configure each individual unit’s LAN ports after you connect it to the FortiGate unit and the FortiAP discovers the WiFi controller. The AP is then listed in the Managed FortiAPs list.
To configure a FortiAP unit’s LAN ports - web-based manager
1. Go to WiFi Controller > Managed Access Points > Managed FortiAPs.
On FortiGate models 100D, 600C, 800C, and 1000C, go to WiFi & Switch Controller > Managed Devices > Managed FortiAPs.
2. Select the FortiAP unit from the list and select Edit.
3. In the LAN Port section, set Mode to Bridge to and select an SSID or WAN Port as needed.
On some models with multiple LAN ports, you can set Mode to Custom and configure the LAN ports individually. Enable each port that you want to use and select an SSID or WAN Port as needed.
4. Select OK.
To configure a FortiAP unit’s LAN ports - CLI
In this example, a FortiAP unit’s configuration is modified to bridge the LAN port to the office SSID.
config wireless-controller wtp
edit FAP11C3X13000412
config lan
set port-mode bridge-to-ssid
set port-ssid office
end
end
In this example, a FortiAP-28C unit’s configuration is modified to bridge LAN port1 to the office SSID and to bridge the other LAN ports to the WAN port.
config wireless-controller wtp
edit FAP28C3X13000412
config lan
set port1-mode bridge-to-ssid
set port1-ssid office
set port2-mode bridge-to-wan
set port3-mode bridge-to-wan
set port4-mode bridge-to-wan
set port5-mode bridge-to-wan
set port6-mode bridge-to-wan
set port7-mode bridge-to-wan
set port8-mode bridge-to-wan
