FortiOS VDOM (Virtual Domain) is a feature of Fortinet's FortiGate firewall that allows the creation of multiple virtual instances of a single physical FortiGate device. Each VDOM can have its own security policies, NAT rules, and configurations, allowing for tailored security measures for different users. Administrators can allocate specific resources (CPU, memory, and bandwidth) to each VDOM to ensure proper usage and performance isolation.
VDOM mode allows the creation of multiple virtual instances within a single FortiGate unit. A normal FortiGate unit operates as a single entity with one management context and one set of security policies, routing configurations, and firewall rules. Each VDOM acts as an independent virtual firewall with its own configurations, policies, and resources.
When the VDOMs are configured with different modes (split/Multiple), the scan report includes the configuration information and the associated VDOM profile name.
The following is an example to show if the host is configured as split or multi-VDOM.
Perform the following steps to create an authentication record to scan the hosts configured with different VDOM modes.
