Default VDOM configuration
By default when the FortiGate-7000 first starts up it is operating in multiple VDOM mode. The system has a
management VDOM (named dmgmt-vdom) and the root VDOM. All management interfaces are in dmgmt-vdom
and all other interfaces are in the root VDOM. You can add more VDOMs and add interfaces to them or just use
the root VDOM.
Default management VDOM
By default the FortiGate-7000 configuration includes a management VDOM named dmgmt-vdom. For the
FortiGate-7000 system to operate normally you should not change the configuration of this VDOM and this
VDOM should always be the management VDOM. You should also not add or remove interfaces from this
VDOM.
You have full control over the configurations of other FortiGate-7000 VDOMs.
Firmware upgrades
All of the modules in your FortiGate-7000 run the same firmware image. You upgrade the firmware from the
primary interface module GUI or CLI just as you would any FortiGate product. During the upgrade process the
firmware of all of the modules in the chassis upgrades in one step. Firmware upgrades should be done during a
quiet time because traffic will briefly be interrupted during the upgrade process.
If you are operating two FortiGate-7000 chassis in HA mode with
uninterruptable-upgrade
and
session-pickup
enabled, firmware upgrades should only cause a minimal traffic interruption. Use the
following command to enable these settings. These settings are synchronized to all modules in the cluster.
config system ha
set uninterruptable-upgrade enable
set session-pickup enable
end
Restarting the FortiGate-7000
To restart all of the modules in a FortiGate-7000 chassis, connect to the primary FIM module CLI and enter the
command
execute reboot
. When you enter this command all of the modules in the chassis reboot.
