VLAN mode

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

Configurations on FortiExtender

The VLAN interface is created automatically on the FortiExtender, and cannot be edited or removed.

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, and cannot be edited or removed. These configurations specify the mapping of the LTE interfaces and the VLAN interfaces.

config system virtual-wire-pair

set lte1-mapping vlan1

end
