After a Schedule manager is configured and run, the Discovery and Visibility pages display an entry with the status of the discovery. In some scenarios, two VPCs can be created in two projects with the same name and CIDR. If two discoveries are executed in consecutive order with the same Address Manager configuration name, and the discoveries are discovering the VPCs in those two projects, CDV flags the status of the discovery job as "Completed with issues" (). These jobs indicate that overlapping VPCs have been dropped:



For more details about overlapping discoveries, click its status information. CDV will display information about the dropped VPCs.

Note: On GCP infrastructures, overlapping VPCs have the following additional behaviors.
  • Address Manager Blocks from overlapping VPCs might still get imported into Address Manager.

  • Overlapping VPCs are marked as Dropped. This means that VPC (and subsequently discovered subnets and associated CIDRs) will not be imported into Address Manager.

  • If a VPC is associated with an overlapping Subnet, that block won't be imported into Address Manager. The VPC's subnets and related devices are removed.

  • If overlapping Subnets are not associated with a VPC, CDV will try to import the VPC even if the VPC is currently Dropped. If the VPC (and its related subnets and devices) is successfully imported to Address Manager, the VPC will be marked as Added.

  • When you delete an overlapping VPC, and the VPC is currently Dropped, CDV will also attempt to remove any imported blocks.

  • If an overlapping Subnet is created (or a Subnet is associated with an overlapping IPv6 CIDR), CDV marks the VPC as Dropped and removes other related Subnets and devices, if any.

  • If an overlapping Subnet is deleted (or the Subnet is disassociated with an overlapping IPv6 CIDR), CDV will attempt to import the VPC back into Address Manager. If the VPC and its related subnets and devices are successfully imported, the VPC will be marked as Added.
