Custom Virtual Interface Priorities

CVI priorities are set according to how narrowly you specify the subnet mask. Subnet masks that are most specific have the highest priority. A CVI that has a single-node subnet mask (such as 192.168.20.2/32) has higher priority than a CVI that has a multiple-node subnet mask (such as 192.0.0.0/8). Establishing priorities in this way helps ensure that CVI traffic remains separate from other traffic, especially for a host on a large subnet.

Note: Reports for traffic between two CVIs with the same priority can be inconsistent.
