Why each option
This question asks about the fundamental characteristics and management aspects of FortiGate Virtual Domains (VDOMs).
VDOMs allow a single FortiGate unit to be logically segmented into multiple independent virtual firewalls, each with its own configurations, interfaces, and policies, enabling multi-tenancy or network segmentation.
In a FortiGate with VDOMs, a designated management VDOM is responsible for handling device-wide services such as SNMP, central logging, alert emails, and FortiGuard updates, ensuring centralized administrative functions.
All VDOMs on a single FortiGate unit share the same underlying operating system and must run the exact same firmware version; they cannot run different firmware versions independently.
An administrative user with a 'super_admin' profile possesses global administrative access and can manage all VDOMs on the FortiGate unit, not just a single one.
