Multi VDOM mode and the Security Fabric

config system csf

set status enable

set upstream-ip 0.0.0.0

set upstream-port 8013

set group-name "SLBC"

set group-password <password>

set accept-auth-by-cert enable

set log-unification disable

set management-ip <ip-address>

set management-port 44300

set authorization-request-type serial

set fabric-workers 2

set configuration-sync local

set fabric-object-unification default

end

The management-ip is set to the IP address of the mgmt1 interface of the FIM in slot 1.
