    Hi all,I am involved in a project which was 4 networks.To connect to this project over the ethernet, do I need one CNI per network or one for the whole project?

    Thanks.

    If the networks are all connected via bridges then you can access the them from the one CNI. The topology of the networks will determine what amount of information is available form the CNI (e.g. if you want to run HomeGate). A "backbone" model is generally a good design with CNI being on the backbone network and all other networks bridged off that one backbone, this ensures you basically have full access to all network information from the CNI (assuming bridges are in Application Connect mode).
