Hello community, 
 
I've no background on configuring VLAN over managed switch and would appreciate some clarification. 
 
Situation is following: 
Fortigate 80D Firewall - 3Com Baseline 2928 Layer 3 Switch - DLINK DAP-2360 - AccessPoint 
 
Aim is to broadcast a SSID assign to configured VLAN 40 Interface on the Fortigate who would also act as a DHCP server to give specific IP range to SSID clients. 
 
Options available on the switch: 
For each port VLAN membership type are: 
-Untagged 
-Tagged 
-Not a Member 
-Link Type (Hybrid, trunk, access) 
-PVID 
 
AP configuration according to DLINK doc: 
<a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2018/10_w43/1397481/DLINK_AP.png" target="_blank" title="DLINK VLAN CONFIGURATION (27 KB)"><img alt="DLINK VLAN CONFIGURATION" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 589px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2018/10_w43/1397481/DLINK_AP.png" /></a> 
On the Fortigate main network + VLAN 40 interface to be dedicated to SSID. 
 
Questions are following: 
- What should be the configuration on the Switch port where AP is connected? Default + VLAN40 untagged? Hybrid? 
- Does it need a new management VLAN or is the &quot;default network&quot; enough? 
- Hints on my specific configuration would be great 
 
Any help would be appreciated! 
Thank you, 
Nicolas

Assign VLAN to SSID

VLAN

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).

DHCP

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
