Dear support,

we need to setup vdom for current network setup and our configuration is to use the ISP-provided LAN IP pool (1.1.2.2/29 subnet) in vdom ,

Currently, our Fortinet firewall's WAN interface is configured with the WAN IP pool address (1.1.1.1/30), and it's functioning seamlessly. However, we now aim to utilize the ISP-provided LAN IP pool (1.1.2.2/29) for vdom internet connectivity using IP addresses within this subnet. we need to setup this for separate network. we need to use ISP provided one of the Lan pool iP address for WAN interface in VDOM. i need your support for this. can anyone share how to configure this.

please upload a diagram on what you intend on doing. if i am understanding your query correctly, you already have a vdom with internet connectivity. And now you want to make another internet breakout on another vdom?

Hi,

My ISP( tata Lease line) has Provided two wan subnet they are /30( 1.1.1.1/30) and /29 (1.1.2.2/29)subnet both are in different subnet ip address. for ISP they mentioned /30 ip address as WAN ip pool and /29 ip address as lan IP pool. I connected /30 ip address from Tata MUX interface to FortiGate firewall wan interface. And its working fine. now I need to create separate network for my client. so I enabled VDOM in FortiGate setting. and I named the VDOM as sales. And I assigned one of the FortiGate port, say port 10 for VDOM. for this VDOM, I need to use the ISP provided /29 ip address i.e. 1.1.2.2/29. I need to assign one of the ip address from this /29 with this VDOM interface and assign as WAN. I need to know whether I can assign this IP address to the created vdom WAN interface and will it work? i need your support for this.

Hi @prince,

 

I believe you want each VDOM to have its own wan interface. You can assign a physical interface to that VDOM and configure IP address and default route. You can refer to https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.4.3/administration-guide/317358/inter-vdom-routing-configuration-example-partial-mesh-vdoms

How many VDOMs do you need? You need to split the /29 into multiple smaller subnets and assign each to the vdom-link/npu-vlink for each VDOM. The smallest you can make is /31. So with /29, you can accommodate only 4 VDOMs. That's why I asked how many you need. If you need more than 4, you need to get either more subnets or a bigger subnet from the ISP.
