Enabling VDOMs
Using the default admin administration account, you can enable multiple VDOM operation
on the FortiGate unit.
To enable virtual domains
1 Log in to the web-based manager on a super_admin profile account.
2 Go to System > Status.
3 In System Information, next to Virtual Domain select Enable.
The FortiGate unit logs you off. You can now log in again as admin.
Alternatively, through the CLI, enter:
config system global, set vdom-admin
When virtual domains are enabled, the web-based manager and the CLI are changed as
follows:
• Global and per-VDOM configurations are separated.
