DescriptionHow many VLANs can I configure in Transparent mode?
Components
  • All FortiGate units
Steps or Commands

When a FortiGate unit is in Transparent mode, there is a limit of 255 interfaces allowed. This applies to virtual LANs (VLANs) as well as other types of interfaces. If virtual domains (VDOMs) are enabled, this limit is per VDOM.

To have more than 255 VLANs in Transparent mode, you need to configure multiple VDOMs.

For more information on VLANs, see the FortiGate VLAN and VDOM Guide.
