In transparent mode, FortiGate forwards traffic at Layer 2, and interfaces in a transparent VDOM belong to the same broadcast domain by default. The Enterprise Firewall 7.6 Administrator Study Guide explains that set forward-domain < domain_ID > subdivides that transparent VDOM into separate broadcast domains. Fortinet recommends using the VLAN ID as the forward-domain ID where appropriate because it makes the relationship straightforward to identify. Therefore, C correctly describes the command ' s purpose.
The setting is unrelated to FortiManager administrative domains (ADOMs), eliminating A. It does not specifically restrict management traffic, so B is incorrect. Nor does it enable an interface to operate across multiple VLANs as D suggests. Instead, interfaces assigned to different forward domains are Layer 2 isolated from one another within the transparent VDOM.
