Administration and management System virtual domain
Administration and management
In addition to the global properties, virtual domains share a common administrative
model. Administrators have access to all of the virtual domains on the FortiGate unit.
Administrators logging into the CLI or web-based manager always log into the root
domain and then must enter the virtual domain that they want to administer.
Management systems such as SNMP, logging, alert email, updates using the FDN,
and setting system time using NTP use addresses and routing in the root virtual
domain to communicate with the network and can only connect to network resources
that can communicate with the root virtual domain.
You can select a different management virtual domain if you want these systems to
communicate with network resources that can connect to a different virtual domain.
