Hi everyone,

 

so I'm completely amazed by a Fortinet feature which I want to suggest here:

Multiple passwords per SSID - Each password may map to a different VLAN.

 

###

Disclaimer for everyone finding this in google or wherever:

There already is "dynamic VLAN" support in the Omada Controller, but it requires WPA2-Enterprise and a Radius server, from what I've gathered so far.

Since this is not always possible and wanted, I create this suggestion. 

####

 

How might work for Omada

  1. You create an SSID and select WPA2-Personal and enable "Multiple Pre-Shared Keys".
  2. You set the VLAN Groups.*
  3. You add PSKs to the VLAN Groups.*
  4. When a user connects to the SSID, any of the defined passwords will work. Depending on the VLAN Group of the used password, the corresponding VLAN will be mapped to this client.

*See my screenshots at the Imgur link below for more details.

 

 

How it works with Fortinet
