Figure 9: Typical VLAN network configuration

In a typical VLAN configuration, a number of physical networks could be connected to a single IEEE 802.1Q-compliant router. The router is configured to add VLAN IDs to the packets that it receives from each network and then route the packets out a single interface that is connected to the FortiGate interface.

This FortiGate unit is configured with subinterfaces that include VLAN IDs that match the VLAN IDs added by the router. When the FortiGate unit receives packets with VLAN IDs, it directs them to the correct subinterface.
