Some virtual environments have their own limitations on the number of interfaces allowed.

The number of Virtual Network Interfaces is not solely dependent on the FortiGate VM.

One license per one FortiCloud account: this means that to have multiple evaluation licenses for multiple Fortigates, we need to create multiple FortiCloud accounts, nuisance but doable. And on top of it, it also counts Loopback interfaces as well. This counts also interfaces that are in state disabled/ down. Number of interfaces: maximum 3, was unlimited. Currently (FortiOS 7.2.1), though, there is no actual enforcement of this limit - I configured BGP and few static routes, 6 all in all, and it worked without any issue. This means severe limiting of dynamic protocols labs like OSPF/BGP.

Number of routes: the limit is also 3, while was unlimited before. Security Rules: the limit is 3, instead of 5.
