Bridging with the FortiAP’s SSID(s)
Bridging the LAN port with the FortiAP’s SSID(s) allows combines traffic from both sources to provide a single broadcast domain for the wired and wireless users.
This configuration has the following features:
• The IP addresses for LAN clients come from the DHCP server that is serving the wireless clients.
• Traffic from LAN clients is bridged to the VLAN used by the SSID to send traffic to the controller.
• Wireless and LAN clients are on the same network and can communicate locally, via the FortiAP.
