Hello,
I am using Fortigate with FortiManager. I have configured several VDOMs based on this schema.
I want the user of VDOM1 to be independent in creating their own IPSEC tunnels. They have public IP addresses routed within their VDOM.
How can I do this?
Thank you for your help!
Yes you can terminate a VPN on a VDOM or NP Link. We do this for multiple customers that have 3rd party IPSEC tunnels to vendors or remote sites. The internet just needs to be able to hit the IP on VDOM A.
as @firolver mentioned, the VPN can teminate on any physical or virtual interface in that VDOM.
Given that you're using FortiManager, you should ensure that VDOM is not part of central VPN management in FortiManager, or you're going to get sync issues.
The admins can create the VPN locally on FortiGate no issue, and that does get synced to FortiManager by default, but creating interface mappings and policies has to happen on FortiManager. If you want the same admins to be able to do this as well (interface mappings, policies), you need to add them to FortiManager and give them access to that FortiGate VDOM (device entry) and the particular policy package.
Cheers,
Debbie
