Configure FQDN-based VIPs

In public cloud environments, sometimes it is necessary to map a VIP to an FQDN address.

To configure an FQDN-based VIP in the GUI:

1. Go to Policy & Objects > Virtual IPs and select the Virtual IP tab.

2. Click Create new.

3. Enter a name for the VIP.

4. Select an interface.

5. For Type, select FQDN.

6. For External, select IP and enter the external IP address.

7. For Mapped address, select an FQDN address.

   

8. Click OK.

To configure an FQDN-based VIP in the CLI:

config firewall vip
    edit "FQDN-vip-1"
        set type fqdn
        set extip 10.2.2.199
        set extintf "any"
        set mapped-addr "destination"
    next
end
