Providing Splunk 8 the following:

| tstats allow_old_summaries=t count from datamodel=Network_Traffic.All_Traffic where (nodename = All_Traffic.Traffic_By_Action.Allowed_Traffic) (All_Traffic.src_zone="INET") (All_Traffic.dest_ip=172.20.17.119) NOT All_Traffic.src_ip IN (40.96.0.0/13, 40.104.0.0/15, 52.96.0.0/14)by All_Traffic.src_ip, All_Traffic.action | sort - count

It doesn't filter out the subnets we asked to exclude... BUT it works on 7.3

Nevermind.. Known issue
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.0/ReleaseNotes/KnownIssues

2019-11-11 SPL-179357, SPL-179700 Negated subnet CIDR filter doesn't work in search.

Workaround:
Workaround:
limits.conf: [search] use_search_evaluator_v2=false

Examples searches that don't filter out values: index=_internal (NOT clientip=127.0.0.0/8) | stats count BY clientip

index=_internal (clientip!=127.0.0.0/8) | stats count BY clientip

index=_internal | stats count BY clientip | search (clientip!=127.0.0.0/8) | stats sum(count) BY clientip | noop search_optimization=false

Filtering with | where is OK: index=_internal | where NOT cidrmatch("127.0.0.0/8", clientip) | stats count BY clientip
