NSE7 Enterprise Firewall and VDOMs Practice Question
A network engineer is deploying FortiGate VDOMs and needs to limit the number of VDOMs per FortiGate to comply with licensing. Which command can be used to check the maximum VDOMs allowed?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse operational commands like 'show system vdom' or 'diagnose sys vdom list' with the license-aware command 'get system status', which is the only one that shows the licensed VDOM cap.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
get system status
The 'get system status' command displays the current FortiGate system status, including the maximum number of VDOMs allowed by the installed license. This is the correct command to verify the licensed VDOM limit before deploying additional VDOMs.
