A FortiGate devices is configured with four VDOMs: 'root' and 'vdom1' are in NAT/route mode; 'vdom2' and 'vdom2' are in transparent mode. The management VDOM is 'root'. Which of the following…
The correct answer is A. An inter-VDOM link between 'root' and 'vdom1' can be created. B. An inter-VDOM link between 'vdom1' and vdom2' can created. Inter-VDOM links on a FortiGate can be established between two NAT/route mode VDOMs or between a NAT/route VDOM and a transparent mode VDOM.
Question
A FortiGate devices is configured with four VDOMs: 'root' and 'vdom1' are in NAT/route mode; 'vdom2' and 'vdom2' are in transparent mode. The management VDOM is 'root'. Which of the following statements are true? (Choose two.)
Options
- AAn inter-VDOM link between 'root' and 'vdom1' can be created.
- BAn inter-VDOM link between 'vdom1' and vdom2' can created.
- CAn inter-VDOM link between 'vdom2' and vdom3' can created.
- DInter-VDOM link links must be manually configured for FortiGuard traffic.

Why each option
Inter-VDOM links on a FortiGate can be established between two NAT/route mode VDOMs or between a NAT/route VDOM and a transparent mode VDOM.
An inter-VDOM link can be created between root (NAT/route mode) and vdom1 (NAT/route mode) because it is permissible to link two VDOMs operating in the same NAT/route mode.
An inter-VDOM link can be established between vdom1 (NAT/route mode) and vdom2 (transparent mode) as FortiGate supports inter-VDOM communication between a NAT/route VDOM and a transparent VDOM.
An inter-VDOM link cannot be created directly between vdom2 and vdom3 if both are in transparent mode, as inter-VDOM links are Layer 3 constructs and are not supported between two Layer 2 transparent VDOMs.
FortiGuard traffic and updates are handled by the FortiGate device itself, typically originating from the management VDOM and using its routing, without requiring specific manual configuration of inter-VDOM links for this service traffic.
