Modifying the FortiSwitch template

Modifying the FortiSwitch template

As mentioned previously in this section, the bridge SSID named Wired_Bridge will be on the same VLAN as the Wired_Lan. We need to adapt the FortiSwitch configuration to add Wired_Lan as an Allowed VLAN so that the FortiAP can trunk the traffic into the FortiSwitch and reach the FortiGate interface named Wired_Lan.

To modify the FortiSwitch template:
  1. Go to FortiSwitch Manager > FortiSwitch Templates.
  2. Double-click the FortiSwitch template to open it for editing.
  3. Double-click the port to open it for editing. The Edit VLAN Assignment dialog box is displayed.
  4. In the Allowed VLAN list, select Wired_LAN, and click OK to save the VLAN assignment.

  5. Click OK to save the template.
