Adding a VDOM to a managed FortiGate device
You can add a VDOM to a FortiGate by using the content pane or by using the device database. This topic describes how to use the content pane. For information on using the device database, see Device DB - System Virtual Domain.
The Multi VDOM mode allows you to create multiple VDOMs as per your license.
The number of VDOMs you can add is dependent on the device model. For more information, see the Maximum Values Table in the Fortinet Document Library.
