Change the Domain of Interfaces and CVIs

Interfaces and CVIs inherit their initial tenant-domain setting from the parent router and Harvester when the Harvester is added and the program begins to collect data from the router and interfaces. If the Harvester is not associated with a custom domain, the routers and interfaces are assigned to the Default Domain as their data begins to be collected.

You can edit the settings for interfaces and CVIs at any time. The domain setting does not have to match the parent router or Harvester. Changing the domain can affect which operators and reports have access to the interfaces' data.

Note: The tenant feature is applicable only to deployments that include CA Performance Center. If your deployment uses CA NetQoS Performance Center, the tenant setting is always Default Tenant.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the Active Interfaces page:
   1. Select Administration from the NFA console menu.

      The Administration page opens.

   2. Select Interfaces: Physical & Virtual from the Administration menu.

      The Active Interfaces page opens.

2. Locate and select the check box next to one or more interfaces that you want to associate with a tenant-domain.
   • To search for parent routers, interfaces, or CVIs, enter all or part of a router IP address, a router or interface name, or an interface description in the Search field, and then click Search. Expand the router details.
   • To navigate to an interface or CVI manually, go to the page that contains the parent router and click the arrow next to the router name. The router details expand to show the interfaces and CVIs.
3. Click Edit.

   The editing dialog opens. The Domain selection list is included in the dialog only if multiple domains exist.

4. Select a tenant-domain option from the Domain list.
5. Click Save.

   The dialog closes. The changes are shown on the Active Interfaces page.

Note: You can also change the tenant-domain setting for Harvesters and routers.
