Capwap mode

In CAPWAP IP pass-through mode, FortiExtender is managed by FortiGate, and traffic is forwarded via the CAPWAP tunnel between FortiGate and FortiExtender. Refer to the FortiGate documentation on how to manage FortiExtender on FortiGate. Once FortiExtender is managed by FortiGate, the following configurations will be synced from FortiGate and generated automatically.

Configurations On FortiExtender

The ingress-intf in system management setting is set automatically, and cannot be edited.

config system management fortigate

set ingress-intf lan

end

Capwap interface

The capwap interface is created automatically. You can not edit or remove it.

config system interface

edit capwap1

set type capwap

set rid 1

next

end

Virtual wire pair

Configurations of the virtual wire pair are created automatically. They cannot be edited it or removed. These configurations specify the mapping of the LTE interfaces and the capwap interfaces. For example, 'set lte1-mapping capwap1' means the traffic from capwap1 interface will be sent out by the lte1 interface.

config system virtual-wire-pair

set lte1-mapping capwap1
