How does the search filter in VS VIPs work in Avi UI

Products

• VMware Avi Load Balancer

Issue/Introduction

When filtering for VS VIPs by specifying certain octets for IP, the VS VIPs outside of the octet range may be displayed in the filter output.

See example below where VS VIPs 10.0.229.10 and 10.0.230.10 also shows up in the filter result when search filter given is 10.0.228.

Resolution

The behavior is as expected. The filtering is based on the subnet of the VIPs and not on the octets provided in filter string. In the example, the VIPs displayed have network/subnet with /22 mask. Since the VIPs in the filtered output are in the IP range of the search filter provided, they are displayed.
