Version 6.0.1 - 06/09/2008

Customer Reports have been modified so that:

• Multiple interfaces on the same device can be added
• Interfaces added cannot be marked as excluded
• interfaces across multiple devices can be added; however:
• it is limited to one instance per device
• the 2nd instance number must be identical to the first device added (i.e. interface 1 on router A and interface 1 on router B). It will not allow interface 1 on router A and interface 2 on router B.

Also, any existing report that has exclusions on an interface will need to be modified. The front-end will tell you (from the tree menu) which reports need adjusting.

These changes will provide more accurate reporting with certain criteria combinations. If you do not change the report criteria, it can cause misrepresentation of IP addresses on interfaces and in some cases overstate traffic totals. Our intention with reporting was to represent the criteria of a custom report as a single device. However, users are beginning to use it differently and therefore these adjustments need to be made for this minor release.

We will rework custom reporting in 7.0 without the restrictions applied by this patch release.
