Fortigate VDOM

 By default VDOM feature is disabled on the firewall and this has to be enabled..

There are two ways to enable this feature either via GUI or CLI but we will focus here on the CLI

Following commands will enable VDOMs on Fortigate firewall..

config system global

set vdom-admin enable

end


To Disable VDOM


config global

    config system global

        set vdom-admin disable

    next

end


Now we will talk about VDOM and global settings..


Settings that we configure outside a VDOM are called Global settings which will affect entire 

Fortigate including areas such as Interface, DNS, Firmware, Fortianalyzer, SNMP & Sandbox etc and

should always be done b a security expert.


After enabling settings for VDOM admin accounts with Super_admin profile can access settings for both 

Global and VDOM settings. Other admins can configure only the VDOM they are assigned to.


Following commands are used for changing GLOBAL and VDOM settings...


For Global


config global


For VDOM


config vdom

    edit <vdom_name>
