Change the Domain of Interfaces and CVIs

Interfaces and CVIs inherit their initial tenant-domain setting from the parent router and Harvester. The setting is inherited when the parent Harvester is added and the router and interfaces first become active. If the Harvester is not associated with a custom domain, the routers and interfaces are assigned to the Default Domain as they become active.

You can edit the settings for interfaces and CVIs to associate them with any tenant and domain at any time. The setting does not have to match the parent router or Harvester.

Changing this setting can affect which operators have access to the interface's data. The setting does not affect which SNMP profiles are used for polling. The router tenant determines the set of SNMP profiles for polling.

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, which lists the current routers and their active interfaces.

2. Locate and select the check box next to one or more interfaces that you want to associate with a tenant and 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.
