NSE7 Enterprise Firewall and VDOMs Practice Question
What is the maximum number of VDOMs supported on a FortiGate 600F (assuming license)?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse the default unlicensed limit (10 VDOMs) with the licensed maximum, or they assume the 600F shares the same VDOM limit as the 400F (100 VDOMs), failing to recognize that the 600F is a higher-spec model with a 500-VDOM ceiling.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
500
The FortiGate 600F, when properly licensed, supports up to 500 VDOMs. This is because the 600F is a mid-range enterprise appliance designed for large-scale multi-tenant environments, and its hardware resources (CPU, memory, and NP7 processors) are provisioned to handle the control-plane and data-plane overhead of up to 500 virtual domains. The license unlocks the VDOM feature, but the maximum count is a hardware-imposed limit, not a software cap.
