Chapter 19 Virtual Domains : Virtual Domains in NAT/Route mode
  
Virtual Domains in NAT/Route mode
Virtual domains (VDOMs) are a method of dividing a FortiGate unit into two or more virtual units that each function as independent units. Each virtual domain has separate routing and security policies. A single FortiGate unit with virtual domains is flexible enough to serve multiple departments of an organization, separate organizations, or be the basis for a service provider’s managed security service.
 
The examples in this chapter are intended to be followed in order as procedures build on previous procedures. If you do not complete the previous procedures, the procedure you are working on may not work properly. If this happens, consult previous procedures or FortiGate documentation.
