  • 1.  Connecting Fortigate to EX2200

    Posted 01-15-2019 07:38

    Hey guys currently trying to connect a Fortigate that I've configured with 3 vlans on one port to a Juniper switch. Then have those vlans on one port.

     

    Little background;

    They have fortigate edge devices that connect to the juniper ex2200 which would be used to provide ethernet to users. I would be adding in a few FortiAPs that would be connecting to the Juniper to provide wifi for users in three different VLANs on different SSIDs.

     

    Thanks

    A simple trunk port would look like this is all three a tagged vlans.

     

    ---setup trunk port

    set interfaces ge-0/0/0 description "trunk to AP"
    set interfaces ge-0/0/0 unit 0 family ethernet-switching port-mode trunk

     

    ---create the vlans

    set vlans ssid1 vlan-id 10
    set vlans ssid1 interface ge-0/0/0.0

    set vlans ssid1 vlan-id 20
    set vlans ssid1 interface ge-0/0/0.0

    set vlans ssid1 vlan-id 30
    set vlans ssid1 interface ge-0/0/0.0

     

    If you also have an untagged mgmt vlan

    --the vlan setup does not include the trunk port but will be used by access ports that are on this same vlan

     

    set vlans mgmtvlan vlan-id 40

    --add the vlan tag as "native" untagged to the trunk port

    set interfaces ge-0/0/0 unit 0 family ethernet-switching native-vlan-id 40

     

    ---client untagged access ports

    --create the access port

    set interfaces ge-0/0/1 description "my client"
    set interfaces ge-0/0/1 unit 0 family ethernet-switching

     

    ---assign to the desired vlan

    set vlans ssid1 interface ge-0/0/1.0

    Thanks i got that functional.

     

    The fortigate traffic still isnt hitting the fortiap. As in the fortiap can not connect to the controller.

     

    Can you assist with this?

    Im trying to connect Fortigate 81-POE to a Juniper ex2200 for wifi. Where the Forti APs would connect thru the juniper for access the fortigate for wifi.

    I can't tell from the images how the Fortigate port connecting to the EX2200 is configured. 

    I see 4 ip subnets with 3 associated to SSID so I assume the 4th by port 11 is the mgmt vlan.

     

    Is this an AP with a vlan trunk port for the SSID and untagged mgmt traffic?

    This would be a typical setup which would be using the 3 vlans associated to tags and the 4th via the native vlan setup.
