Virtual Domain (VDOM)

Virtual Domain (VDOM)

VDOMs enable you to partition and use your FortiGate unit as if it were multiple units. You can add a VDOM to a FortiGate by using the content pane or by using the device database.

When using the content pane in FortiManager, you can add two types of VDOM modes. For more information to add a VDOM, see Add VDOM.

  • Split-Task VDOM - The Split-Task VDOM mode creates two VDOMs automatically: FG-traffic and root. Additional VDOMs cannot be added.
  • Multi VDOM - The Multi VDOM mode allows you to create multiple VDOMs as per your license.

To create VDOMs using the device database, see Device DB - System Virtual Domain.

You can view VDOM information in the FortiWLM MEA GUI in the following pages.

  • Monitor > Overview > Network Summary (Stations)
  • Operate > Inventory > Access Points.
