Hello,
Im studying for the NS4 and i was wondering in what cases scenario is the Split VDOM Use
I could read that it has to vdoms
the Root and one more
The root is for managment only work so i just actually get one vdom to work with. Why i would like to use this mode if it just give me one vdom?
I dont have too much experience with fortigates so i cant think in one, but i would like to know.
Cheers
Carlos

Actually me neither. It's just to separate management vdom from user(root) vdom so that the user (vdom) wouldn't see any management traffic like FortiGuard access and others. But to me that's relevant if the entire chassis is owned/managed by somebody else other than the vdom users. If it's only for yourself, probably it doesn't matter much since all circuit(s) are for yourself including management use.
We do have shared chassis setups with multiple customer VDOMs, and we set a dedicated management vdom to carry the management or common service traffic. But that's different from the "split vdom" feature is intending.
I tend to agree with Toshi that it's not an attractive feature, but I think there are two advantages perhaps (having not used it, just going off my understanding of it).
