Operation mode and VDOM management access
You can change the operation mode of each VDOM independently of other
VDOMs. This allows any combination of NAT/Route and Transparent operating
modes on the FortiGate unit VDOMs.
Management access to a VDOM can be restricted based on which interfaces and
protocols can be used to connect to the FortiGate unit.
Changing operation mode
You can set the operating mode for your VDOM and perform sufficient network
configuration to ensure that you can connect to the web-based manager in the
new mode.
