What Is a Vdom Link

VDOM links are a way of connecting VDOMs (virtual firewalls) within a FortiGate without the need to use external physical ports. You can connect NAT/routed and Transparent VDOMs together or NAT/routed to NAT/routed VDOMs but not Transparent to Transparent VDOMs.

What is FortiGate Vdom?

Virtual Domains (VDOMs) are used to divide a FortiGate into two or more virtual units that function independently. VDOMs can provide separate security policies and, in NAT mode, completely separate configurations for routing and VPN services for each connected network.

Virtual domains (VDOMs) enable you to partition and use your FortiGate unit as if it were multiple units. VDOMs have their own dashboard and toolbar. You can configure the VDOM in the same way that you can configure a device.
