System Advancements

GUI features can now be enabled and disabled per VDOM (263708 273799)

When VDOMs are enabled, most of the items in the Features section of the menu are moved to a similar menu section within the VDOM menu and are now customizable on a per VDOM basis. Some items such as IPv6 and Certificates are still configured on a global basis.

From the GUI, you can enable or disable GUI features from System > Feature Select.

From the CLI, GUI items that are enabled or disabled per-VDOM are configured from the config system settings command. GUI items that are enabled globally are enabled or disabled from the config system global command.

Turning these features on or off does not enable or disable the feature but determines whether or not that option is displayed on the GUI.

Improvements to system admin GUI pages (205280)

Several items relating to system administration, and the the configuration of the system administrator accounts and profiles in particular, have been updated so that the layout is clearer and more efficient. One of the things improve is that it is now easier to set up two factor authentication.

The TFTP session helper supports (263127)

Support for IPv6 addressing when configuring central management (297144)

Previously, the configuration of an IP address for a server for ratings and updates, such as a FortiManager, could only use IPv4 addresses. Now, as shown below IPv6 addressing can be used as well.

config system central-management set type fortimanager

set fmg “2000:172:16:200::207” set vdom “vdom1”

config server-list edit 1

set server-type rating update set addr-type ipv6

set server-address6 2000:172:16:200::207 next

end end
