[rbarnes]

Description	This article describes how to source an external resource (also known as a threat feed connector).
Scope	Fortios 7.0,7.2.7.4
Solution	It is not possible to source an external resource through the local VDOM. It can only be sourced from the root VDOM. VDOM FG-traffic: Threat feed configured. Internet access on this VDOM. VDOM root: Management VDOM. No internet access on this VDOM. VDOMS: Error message: Create a working setup as follows: Create a loopback interface on the root VDOM and set up an IP address on it. Create a loopback interface on the Fg-traffic VDOM and set the same IP address on it. Set the source IP address. It will now be sourced from the loopback address on the FG-traffic VDOM.
