System virtual domain

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

 

 

2Set Virtual domain to All or to the name of the virtual domain that currently contains the interface.

3Select Edit for the physical interface you want to move.

4Choose the Virtual Domain to which to move the interface.

5Select OK.

The physical interface moves to the virtual domain. Firewall IP pools and virtual IP added for this interface are deleted. You should manually delete any routes that include this interface.

To add VLAN subinterfaces to a virtual domain

A virtual domain must contain at least two interfaces. These can be physical interfaces or VLAN interfaces. VLAN subinterfaces are usually not in the same virtual domain as the physical interfaces that they are added to.

To add a new VLAN to a virtual domain in NAT/Route mode, see “To add a VLAN subinterface in NAT/Route mode” on page 65. To add a new VLAN to a virtual domain in Transparent mode, see “To add a VLAN subinterface in Transparent mode” on page 70.

The following procedure describes how to move a VLAN subinterface from one virtual domain to another. You cannot remove a VLAN subinterface from a virtual domain if firewall policies have been added for it. Delete the firewall policies or remove the VLAN subinterface from the firewall policies first. If the VLAN subinterface has been added to a zone, it is removed from the zone when you move it to a different virtual domain.

1Go to System > Network > Interface.

2Set Virtual domain to All or to the name of the virtual domain that currently contains the VLAN subinterface.

3Select Edit for the VLAN subinterface you want to move.

4Choose the Virtual Domain to which to move the VLAN subinterface.

5Select OK.

The VLAN subinterface moves to the virtual domain. Firewall IP pools and virtual IP added for this VLAN subinterface are deleted. You should manually delete any routes that include this VLAN subinterface.

To view the interfaces in a virtual domain

1Go to System > Network > Interface.

2Choose the Virtual domain you want to view.

The interfaces added to this virtual domain are listed.

To add zones to a virtual domain

The following procedure applies to NAT/Route and Transparent mode.

1Go to System > Virtual domain > Virtual domains.

2Select Change following the current virtual domain name above the table.

3Choose the virtual domain to add zones to.
