Description

 

This article describes if this is possible to manage FortiExtender on a different VDOM other than root VDOM.

Scope

 

FortiExtender.


Solution

 

FortiExtender can be managed on FortiGate only through root VDOM.
Managing FortiExtender from different VDOM (non-root
VDOM ) of FortiGate is not supported for now.

However, it is possible to manage FortiExtender on the root VDOM of FortiGate and configure inter-VDOM routing on FortiGate to achieve the same requirements for other domains.

NOTE: For the Split-Task VDOM case, it is not possible to use FortiExtender because the root VDOM is only used for management, and inter-VDOM routing is not possible.
