A FortiGate is configured with three virtual domains (VDOMs). Which of the following statements is correct regarding multiple VDOMs?

The correct answer is D. The FortiGate supports any combination of VDOMs in NAT/Route and transparent modes. FortiGate VDOMs offer flexible deployment, allowing administrators to configure individual VDOMs in either NAT/Route or transparent mode to suit specific network requirements.

Why each option

FortiGate VDOMs offer flexible deployment, allowing administrators to configure individual VDOMs in either NAT/Route or transparent mode to suit specific network requirements.

AThe FortiGate must be a model 1000 or above to support multiple VDOMs.

VDOM support varies by FortiGate model; many smaller models also support multiple VDOMs, often with specific VDOM count limitations, making the statement 'model 1000 or above' incorrect.

BA license has to be purchased and applied to the FortiGate before VDOM mode could be

VDOM functionality is generally included with the FortiGate firmware and does not require a separate license purchase to enable VDOM mode itself.

CChanging the operational mode of a VDOM requires a reboot of the FortiGate.

Changing the operational mode (NAT/Route vs. Transparent) of an individual VDOM does not require a reboot of the entire FortiGate unit; only enabling or disabling VDOM mode globally requires a reboot.

DThe FortiGate supports any combination of VDOMs in NAT/Route and transparent modes.Correct

Each VDOM on a FortiGate operates independently and can be configured in either NAT/Route mode or transparent mode, regardless of the operational mode of other VDOMs on the same device.
