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.

config system interface

edit vlan1

set type vlan

set vid 100

set ingress-intf lan

next

end

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.

config system virtual-wire-pair

set lte1-mapping vlan1

end
