Configuring virtual domains (VDOMs)
Virtual domains (VDOMs) enable you to partition and use your FortiGate unit as if it were multiple units. For more information see the FortiGate Administration Guide or the VLAN and VDOM Guide..
 
In FortiManager v5.0, VDOMs have their own dashboard and tool-bar. You can configure the VDOM in the same way as configuring a device.
