Hello,

 

FortiGate VM which uses trial license has VDOM related limitations. Please find the details by following the link below:

 

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.6.3/administration-guide/441460/permanent-trial-mode-for-fortigate-vm

 

"Support for a maximum of two virtual domains (VDOM). When using multi-VDOM mode, the root VDOM must be an admin type and the other can be a traffic VDOM."

Hello,

 

It is possible to configure 2 VDOMs, however only one VDOM can process traffic.

  1. There can be two types of VDOMs:
    1. Admin type which can be only used for management access.
    2. Traffic type which is used for passing traffic through the firewall.
