Technical Tip: How to check for VDOM Enablement on a FortiGate

[nithincs]

Description	This article explains how to determine if Virtual Domains (VDOMs) are enabled on a FortiGate.
Scope	FortiGate.
Solution	On FortiGates, Virtual Domain(VDOM) is a feature that lets the admin split a single physical FortiGate into multiple independent virtual firewalls. Each VDOM can have its own policies, routing, and admin domains. To determine if Virtual Domains (VDOMs) are enabled on a FortiGate, a few methods are available through both the GUI and the Command Line Interface (CLI). From GUI: Log in to the FortiGate with an administrator account, navigate to the Dashboard -> Status. In the System Information widget, locate the Virtual Domain section. The status will indicate whether VDOMs are enabled or disabled. Command Line Interface (CLI): Connect to the FortiGate CLI via SSH or console cable. Enter the command 'get system status" or "get sys status | grep -n Virtual'. The output will display the 'Virtual domain configuration' status. The possible values for this status are: disable: No VDOMs are enabled. multiple: VDOMs are enabled in multi-VDOM mode. Example: FGVM04TMxxxx2496 # get sys status | grep -n "Virtual" 32:Virtual domains status: 1 in NAT mode, 0 in TP mode 33:Virtual domain configuration: multiple FGVM04TMxxxx2496 # get sys status | grep -n "Virtual" 32:Virtual domains status: 1 in NAT mode, 0 in TP mode 33:Virtual domain configuration: disable Related article: Technical Tip: How to delete a VDOM using the GUI and CLI
