FortiGate-6000 Handbook

Split-Task VDOM mode

Split-Task VDOM mode

By default the FortiGate-6000 operates in Multi VDOM mode. Use the following steps to convert a FortiGate-6000 from Multi VDOM mode to Split-Task VDOM mode. Converting to Split-Task VDOM mode involves first disabling VDOMs and then enabling Split-Task VDOM mode.

  1. If required, delete all VDOMs except for mgmt-vdom and root.
  2. Log into the CLI and enter the following command to turn off VDOMs:

    config global

    config system global

    set vdom-mode no-vdom

    end

    You are logged out of the CLI.

  3. Log into the CLI and switch to Split-Task VDOM mode:

    config system global

    set vdom-mode split-vdom

    end

    You are logged out of the CLI.

  4. Log back into the CLI or GUI.

    The FortiGate-6000 will be operating in Split-Task VDOM mode and you can go to Security Fabric > Fabric Connectors to verify that Security Fabric Setup is enabled.
