Example of Custom Virtual Interface Definitions

If you define the following CVIs:

• CVI-A: 192.168.0.0/16
• CVI-B: 192.168.100.0/24
• CVI-C: 192.168.100.123/32

The following reporting is enabled:

• CVI-A reports traffic that involves subnet 192.168.x.x except traffic that involves subnet 192.168.100.x.
• CVI-B reports traffic that involves subnet 192.168.100.x except traffic that involves host 192.168.100.123.
• CVI-C reports traffic that involves host 192.168.100.123.

If you add 192.168.100.124/32 as CVI-D, either CVI-C or CVI-D reports the traffic between 192.168.100.123 and 192.168.100.124. Only one of the CVIs reports the traffic.

If you add 192.168.200.0/24 as CVI-E, either CVI-B or CVI-E reports the traffic between 192.168.100.x and 192.168.200.x. Only one of the CVIs reports the traffic.
