Creating a virtual domain

Creating a virtual domain

By default, FortiADC has a predefined virtual domain named "root" that you cannot delete or modify. The super admin and global admin users are able to add, delete, enable, and disable any non-root virtual domains on the system.

Before you begin:
  • You must have super admin (admin administrator) or global admin permission to create virtual domains.
To create a virtual domain:
  1. Go to System > Virtual Domain.
  2. Click Create New, enter a unique name for the virtual domain.
  3. Click Save.
    The newly created virtual domain is listed under the Virtual Domain page.
  4. Optionally, double-click or click the (edit icon) of the virtual domain to create and impose custom policies.
    This function is only applicable for virtual domains in Independent Network mode. For more information, see Virtual domain policies.
    For more information about the Independent Network and Share Network virtual domain modes, see Virtual Domain (VDOM) and Administrative Domain (ADOM) overview.
