Configuring virtual domains

The following procedures explain how to configure virtual domains:

Adding interfaces, VLAN subinterfaces, and zones to a virtual domain

Configuring routing for a virtual domain

Configuring firewall policies for a virtual domain

Configuring IPSec VPN for a virtual domain

Adding interfaces, VLAN subinterfaces, and zones to a virtual domain

To add physical interfaces to a virtual domain

A virtual domain must contain at least two interfaces. These can be physical interfaces or VLAN interfaces.

By default all physical interfaces are in the root virtual domain and the following procedure describes how to move a physical interface from one virtual domain to another. You cannot remove a physical interface from a virtual domain if firewall policies have been added for it. Delete the firewall policies or remove the interface from the firewall policies first. If the interface has been added to a zone, it is removed from the zone when you move it to a different virtual domain.

1 Go to System > Network > Interface.
