3.1.1.6 Deleting a Network Element

Before deleting a network element the user must ensure that no servers are associated with the target network element. Attempting to delete a network element with at least one associated server results in an error message and the target network element is not deleted. If a network element contains networks, but is not associated with any servers, then deleting the network element is successful. The networks contained in the target network element are deleted along with the network element.

Use this procedure to delete a network element after confirming that no servers are associated with it:

  1. Click Configuration, and then Networking, and then Networks.
  2. Locate the target network element tab.
    Network elements are presented in tabular form. If the target network element is not visible in the available screen space use the scroll right/left buttons located below the tool bar area and to the right or left of the visible tabs.
  3. Click the x located on the tab of the target network element.
    A delete confirmation message appears.
  4. Click OK to delete the network element from the database tables.
    A status message is presented stating the network element has successfully been deleted. Closing the status message returns you to the Networks page.

The network element and related networks are deleted from the databases.
