Is it possible to define a policy scope in a network with overlapping IP ranges?

Defining a policy scope in a network with overlapping IP ranges can be achieved by using IP Reuse Domains. IP Reuse Domains allow administrators to partition overlapping IP address ranges into separate logical zones. This setup enables ForeScout to manage and clearly define policies for these IP spaces without ambiguity, as it distinguishes different devices or groups that might share IP address ranges in various contexts.

The use of IP Reuse Domains essentially creates a framework for differentiating between devices that could otherwise lead to conflicts or unclear policy enforcement due to overlapping addresses. This feature ensures that policies can be applied accurately according to the specific domain rather than assuming a singular, potentially confusing policy application.

In contrast, the other options do not account for the functionality provided by IP Reuse Domains. The assertion that it's not possible to define a policy scope in overlapping IP ranges undermines the capability afforded by this feature. Claiming that policy scopes can only be defined for non-overlapping ranges fails to recognize that the system is designed to handle such complexities. Lastly, suggesting that it can be done but with limitations does not capture the efficacy and precision of utilizing IP Reuse Domains to address the challenges posed by overlapping IP ranges.
