Assigning an interface to a VDOM

Figure 64: New VDOM link

5 Enter the name for the new VDOM link, up to a maximum of 11 characters.

The name must not contain any spaces or special characters. Hyphens ("-") and

underlines ("_") are allowed. Remember that the name will have a "0" or "1" attached to

the end for the actual interfaces.

6 Configure VDOM link "0".

7 Select the VDOM from the menu that this interface will connect to.

8 Enter the IP address and netmask for this interface.

9 Select the administrative access method or methods. Keep in mind that PING,

TELNET, and HTTP are less secure methods.

10 Optionally enter a description for this interface.

11 Repeat steps 7 through 10 for VDOM link "1".

12 Select OK to save your configuration and return to the System > Interface screen.

The following procedure describes how to reassign an existing interface from one virtual

domain to another. It assumes VDOMs are enabled and more than one VDOM exists.

You cannot delete a VDOM if it is used in any configurations. For example, if an interface

is assigned to that VDOM, you cannot delete the VDOM. You cannot remove an interface

from a VDOM if the interface is included in any of the following configurations:

firewall policy

proxy arp (only accessible through the CLI).

Before removing these configurations, it is recommended that you back up your

configuration, so you can restore it if you want to create this VDOM at a later date.

Delete the items in this list or modify them to remove the interface before proceeding.
