Description
This article explains how to enter a VDOM to execute commands without exiting the current VDOM.
Scope
FortiGate.
Solution
CLI command '#sudo', allows the running of global commands from within the VDOM context of the CLI.
This means that the user no longer has to:
- Exit from the VDOM.
- Enter global.
- Run the command.
- Return to the previous VDOM.
These commands will only work if the user already has permission to run the command.
Unlike the '#sudo' command in some other operating systems like Linux, this command does not allow the user to run programs with the privileges of another user.
The syntax for the command is:
#sudo {global | vdom-name} {diagnose | execute | show | get}
Example to run CLI from VDOM level to query Global level configuration:
config vdom
(vdom) # edit TP
current vf=TP:1
(TP) # sudo global show system ha
config system ha
set group-id 10
set group-name "fgcp"
set mode a-p
set hbdev "port31" 50
set session-pickup enable
set ha-mgmt-status enable
set ha-uptime-diff-margin 3
set override disable
set priority 200
set monitor "port1" "port2"
end
Example to run CLI from Global level to query VDOM level configuration:
config global
(global) # sudo TP show system settings
config system settings
set asymroute enable
end
