System virtual domain

 

 

Virtual domain properties

By default, each FortiGate unit runs a virtual domain named root. This virtual domain includes all of the FortiGate physical interfaces, VLAN subinterfaces, zones, firewall policies, routing settings, and VPN settings.

Once you add a virtual domain you can configure it by adding VLAN subinterfaces, zones, firewall policies, routing settings, and VPN settings. You can also move physical interfaces from the root virtual domain to other virtual domains and move VLAN subinterfaces from one virtual domain to another.

This process works the same way in NAT/Route and in Transparent mode.
