Description | This article describes how to enable long VDOM names in multi-VDOM setups. |
Scope | FortiGate v6.4.x, v7.0.x, v7.2.x, v7.4.x. |
Solution |
Usually, the VDOM names are limited to 11 characters. To use the longer names, long-vdom-name needs to be enabled under global settings.
config global config sys global set long-vdom-name enable <- Some models do not have this command available (not supported). end end
In some versions, FortiGate will prompt with the warning below. Press 'Y' to continue.
edit testlongvdomname The new vdom's name has more than 11 characters. A short vdom name is required. current vf=testlongvdomname:5 end
In the FortiGate configuration, the VDOM name looks like the following with a slash:
config vdom edit root/root next end
This is because the 'Long VDOM Name' setting is enabled.
Note: For the FortiGate VM models 'set long-vdom-name' is a hidden CLI command on the global settings. The commands will need to be typed out manually (auto complete does not work on the VM for these commands).
