Configuring the VDOM links
To complete the connection between each VDOM and the management VDOM, you need to add the two VDOM links; one pair is the Accounting - management link and the other is for Sales - management link.
When configuring inter-VDOM links, you do not have to assign IP addresses to the links unless you are using advanced features such as dynamic routing that require them. Not assigning IP addresses results in faster configuration, and more available IP addresses on your networks.
If you require them, or if you simply want to assign IP addresses for clarity can do so.
