Configuring a WiFi LAN
When working with a FortiGate WiFi controller, you can configure your wireless network before you install any access points. If you are working with a standalone FortiWiFi unit, the access point hardware is already present but the configuration is quite similar. Both are covered in this section.
Overview of WiFi controller configuration
Setting your geographic location
Defining a wireless network interface (SSID)
Configuring user authentication
On FortiGate model 30D, web-based manager configuration of the WiFi controller is disabled by default. To enable it, enter the following CLI commands:config system global set gui-wireless-controller enable end |
If you want to connect and authorize external APs, such as FortiAP units, see the next chapter, Access point deployment.
