Note VDOMs are a logical division of a single FortiGate unit into two or more virtual units that are independent from each other. We will talk about them in Chapter 4, High Availability.

The ACLs are configured from the CLI with the config router access-list command. pdf. OSPF area In the aforementioned OSPF pane we are able to create one or more OSPF areas.
