Adding VDOMs
You can use VDOMs for primary or secondary hub devices as well as edge devices.
Before using this method to add VDOMs to SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA, you must:
- Create VDOMs on the FortiGate device
This method adds the VDOM to SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA, so you must create the VDOM first.
- Configure interfaces for the VDOM by using FortiManager
This method retrieves interfaces for the VDOM from FortiManager, so you must configure them first.
After you add the VDOM to SD-WAN Orchestrator MEA and retrieve VDOM interfaces, overrides are automatically enabled in the assigned profile for WAN and LAN settings.
