FortiWLC – Configuring VLAN in MESH

Configuring VLAN in MESH

Mesh APs now supports VLAN trunking.

Before you enable VLAN trunking on a mesh network, follow the recommendations listed below:

• Secondary redundancy network is not support and hence use mesh rediscovery to achieve redundancy.
• The gateway AP in a VLAN mesh should use ESS and port profile in tunnel mode if the profiles contain VLAN tags.

Enabling VLAN Trunk

Using CLI

controller(15)# configure terminal controller(15)(config)# port‐profile vlantrunk controller(15)(config‐port‐profile)# enable controller(15)(config‐port‐profile)# vlantrunk enable controller(15)(config‐port‐profile)# multicast‐enable controller(15)(config‐port‐profile)# end controller(15)(config)# mesh vlantest controller(15)(config‐mesh)# admin‐mode enable controller(15)(config‐mesh)# psk key 12345678 controller(15)(config‐mesh)# meshvlantrunk enable controller(15)(config‐mesh)# end

Configuring VLAN in MESH

controller(15)# controller(15)# sh mesh‐profile
