> Has anyone used a Fortigate to manage WAP's?

We received a free FAP-221A with our Fortigate 300C. It was part of their 
promotion, trying to sell us their APs.

Using the FortiOS 4.x software, the APs were forced to be on a different subnet 
than our normal networks, and this was not what we wanted to do with our 
wireless network. Thus, we did not get much use out of our free AP. Also, our 
existing Ruckus wireless network was working very well, so we didn't need the 
additional coverage.

I understand that the 5.x version of FortiOS will allow the APs to work on the 
same network as the rest of your LAN. I have not played with this.

I didn't know the Fortigate could manage 3rd party APs. Where are you getting 
such information?
