FQDN in VIPs

Instead of mapping to an IP address a VIP can use a FQDN(Fully Qualified Domain Name). This has to be configured in the CLI and the FQDN must be an address object that is already configured in the address listing.

The syntax for using a FQDN is:

config firewall vip edit <VIP id> set type fqdn

set mappped-addr <FQDN address object> end

The plethora of vendors that resell hardware but have zero engineering knowledge resulting in the wrong hardware or configuration being deployed is a major pet peeve of Michael's. This site was started in an effort to spread information while providing the option of quality consulting services at a much lower price than Fortinet Professional Services.
