Configuring inter-VDOM links in a virtual clustering configuration
Configuring inter-VDOM links in a virtual clustering configuration is very similar to configuring inter-VDOM links for a standalone FortiGate unit. The main difference the config system vdom-link command includes the vcluster keyword. The default setting for vcluster is vcluster1. So you only have to use the vcluster keyword if you are added an inter-VDOM link to virtual cluster 2.
To add an inter-VDOM link to virtual cluster 1
This procedure describes how to create an inter-VDOM link to virtual cluster 1 that results in a link between the root and vdom_1 virtual domains.
| Inter-VDOM links are also called internal point-to-point interfaces. |
1 Add an inter-VDOM link called vc1link.
config global
config system vdom-link
edit vc1link
end
Adding the inter-VDOM link also adds two interfaces. In this example, these interfaces are called vc1link0 and vc1link1. These interfaces appear in all CLI and web‑based manager interface lists. These interfaces can only be added to virtual domains in virtual cluster 1.
2. Bind the vc1link0 interface to the root virtual domain and bind the vc1link1 interface to the vdom_1 virtual domain.
config system interface
edit vc1link0
set vdom root
next
edit vc1link1
set vdom vdom_1
end
To add an inter-VDOM link to virtual cluster 2
This procedure describes how to create an inter-VDOM link to virtual cluster 2 that results in a link between the vdom_2 and vdom_3 virtual domains.
1 Add an inter-VDOM link called vc2link.
config global
config system vdom-link
edit vc2link
set vcluster vcluster2
end
Adding the inter-VDOM link also adds two interfaces. In this example, these interfaces are called vc2link0 and vc2link1. These interfaces appear in all CLI and web‑based manager interface lists. These interfaces can only be added to virtual domains in virtual cluster 2.
2. Bind the vc2link0 interface to the vdom_2 virtual domain and bind the vc2link1 interface to the vdom_3 virtual domain.
config system interface
edit vc2link0
set vdom vdom_2
next
edit vc2link1
set vdom vdom_3
end
