Moving an interface to a VDOM
Interfaces belong to the root VDOM by default. Moving an interface is the same procedure no matter if its moving from the root VDOM or a any other VDOM.
If you have an accelerated pair of physical interfaces both interfaces must be in the same VDOM or you will lose their acceleration.
The following procedure will move the port3 interface to the Client2 VDOM. This is a common action when configuring a VDOM. It is assumed that the Client2 VDOM has already been created. It is also assumed that your FortiGate unit has a port3 interface. If you are using a different model, your physical interfaces may not be named port2, external or port3.
To move an existing interface to a different VDOM - web-based manager
1. Go to Global > Network > Interfaces.
2. Select Edit for the port3 interface.
3. Select Client2 as the new Virtual Domain.
4. Select OK.
To move an existing interface to a different VDOM - CLI
config global
config system interface
edit port3
set vdom Client2
end
