Long VDOM name for FortiGate VM

Hi,

 

Currently using FortiGate VM in FortiOS version 7.0.15. Based on the details below, it looks to be not supported. Is there another firmware which we can upgrade to, to enable the long vdom name?

 

Followed this link to enable long vdom name: Long VDOM names - Fortinet Community, but unable to find the said config parameter - 'set long-vdom-name'

 

It was indicated as well in the CLI reference that the parameter set long-vdom-name may not exist in some models: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.0.15/cli-reference/339914554/config-system-global

 

Thank you!

I just double-checked on a FGT61F 7.0.15 and a FGT-VM 7.2.8, and while the option is available as usual in the 61F, in the VM it is a "hidden" CLI command. You need to type it out manually (auto-complete does not work for it). But it works.

Probably you're aware, but the interface names are still limited to 15. Just a reminder.
