Transparent mode and VDOM mode

[WillSudd]

I have to Fortigate devices, one in transparent mode and one in VDOM mode. I want to manage the transparent mode Fortigate. Is it possible to pull an interface from the transparent mode Fortigate in order to manage it from the VDOM Fortigate.

Hello,

2 ways : Affect an IP to the Bridge, or create a specific VDOM for admin (out of band administration)

to create a VDOM :

In CLI :
config system global
set vdom-mode multi-vdom
end

in GUI :
in VDOM "global", go to "system>VDOM"
create a new vdom with ADMIN as a name, then OK
in "network>interface" edit a free interface and then change vdom to "ADMIN" vdom, assign IP addresse, active "ping, https and ssh" then OK
in "network>static-routes" create a new route "0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0" with the new interface you had create, assign an gateway
plug and test

Thanks MENGUY, this has helped me with the configuration and will be implementing this Wednesday. I will let the group know how it went.
