| Description | This article describes how to create VDOM link interfaces on FortiGate-VM via cli |
| Scope | FortiGate 7.x. |
| Solution |
GUI access to FortiGate might not be available so it will not be possible to create VDOM link interfaces to connect two different VDOMs. In such cases, the CLI can be used to create a vdom-link interface.
Step 1: Type 'config global' then 'config system vdom-link'. As can be seen below, there are no interfaces created yet.
Step 2: Type 'edit <interface_name>'. In this example 'vdom_link' was used. Type 'end' after that.
Step 3: Two interfaces will be created '<interface_name>0' and '<interface_name>1'. Both interfaces will belong to the VDOM root and no IP addresses will be assigned. Edit the interfaces according to the network requirement.
From the GUI, a new interface type called VDOM link will show up under Network -> Interfaces.
