What does the normal mode of ADOMs imply regarding FortiGate VDOMs?

The correct answer indicates that in normal mode of ADOMs (Administrative Domains) for FortiAnalyzer, FortiGate VDOMs (Virtual Domains) cannot be assigned to different ADOMs. In this context, an ADOM serves as a container for managing the logs and configurations of devices like FortiGates.

When a FortiGate device is associated with an ADOM in normal mode, its VDOMs are essentially tied to that specific ADOM. This means that the logs, reports, and configurations for those VDOMs are consolidated and managed within that ADOM. Consequently, this arrangement ensures a more organized and efficient management structure, preventing interference or confusion that could arise from VDOMs being spread across multiple ADOMs.

It is important to recognize that each ADOM is designed for specific policy management, and having VDOMs associated with multiple ADOMs could lead to conflicts or mismanagement. Thus, the restriction of VDOMs to a single ADOM in normal mode enhances consistency and policy enforcement within the managed environment.
