VDOMs overview

You can use virtual domains (VDOMs) to divide a FortiGate into two or more virtual devices that function independently. For each separate VDOM, you can create different configurations, including firewall policies, routing, VPNs, and security profiles.

Once you have created a VDOM, the steps you need to take to configure it are typically the same as if you were configuring a single FortiGate with VDOMs disabled. This chapter focuses on considerations that are unique to a network using VDOMs.
