Deployment plan

This deployment will configure a FortiGate device, a FortiSwitch unit, and a FortiAP unit from factory default settings to provide wired and wireless outbound access for internal users. Other than the physical connections, the majority of the steps are completed on the FortiGate device.

The general deployment steps are as follows:

1. Bring up a FortiGate device and connect to an ISP.

2. Configure FortiLink and authorize a FortiSwitch unit.

3. Create and assign VLANs in the switch controller.

4. Set up NAC and create NAC policies.

5. Add one or more FortiAP units.
