FortiLAN Cloud Networks

In FortiLAN Cloud terms, a Network is a logical grouping of FortiAP and FortiSwitch devices for common configuration and management. A FortiLAN Cloud account can have multiple networks. For instance, if you have 20 devices and you plan to use 10 devices in the head office and the other 10 devices in a branch office, then you would create two networks.

Typically, a Network aligns with a site or location, but you can also group devices into subsets (sites) and then apply configurations to those subsets. For example, in an office building, you can have a device subset for each floor of the building. Though it is possible and valid to have a single network containing all devices, and apply configurations to subsets of devices, the recommendation is that you create multiple independent networks.
