VLAN mode

CAPWAP mode do not perform well as desired on low-end FortiGate devices. VLAN mode has been introduced to improve performance. FortiExtender in VLAN mode is also managed by FortiGate in the same way as CAPWAP mode, but it uses VLAN to forward traffic between FortiGate and FortiExtender.

Configurations on FortiExtender

The VLAN interface is created automatically on FortiExtender. You cannot edit it or remove it.

FX212E5919000009 # config system interface
FX212E5919000009 (interface) # edit vlan1
FX212E5919000009 (vlan1) # show
edit vlan1
set type vlan
set vid 100
set ingress-intf lan
next
FX212E5919000009 (vlan1) # next
FX212E5919000009 (interface) # edit vlan2
FX212E5919000009 (vlan2) # show
edit vlan2
set type vlan
set vid 200
set ingress-intf lan
next
FX212E5919000009 (vlan2)

Virtual Wire Pair

Just like CAPWAP mode, Virtual Wire Pair Configurations of the virtual wire pair are created automatically. You cannot edit it or remove it. These configurations specify the mapping of the LTE interfaces and the VLAN interfaces.

FX212E5919000009 (virtual-wire-pair) # show

config system virtual-wire-pair

set lte1-mapping vlan1

set lte2-mapping vlan2

end
