Administrative Domains : Adding an ADOM
 
Adding an ADOM
You can create both FortiGate and FortiCarrier ADOMs for versions 5.0, 4.0 MR3, and 4.0 MR2. FortiAnalyzer has default ADOMs for FortiCache, FortiCarrier, FortiClient, FortiMail, FortiWeb, FortiAnalyzer, and syslog devices. When one of these devices is promoted to the DVM table, the device is added to their respective default ADOM and will be visible in the tree menu.

1. In the Device Manager tab, right-click on an ADOM name and, under the ADOM heading, select Create New. Alternatively, go to System Settings > All ADOMs and select Create New in the toolbar.
