Delete a Router

You can delete a router that has stopped sending flows to CA Network Flow Analysis. If you delete a router, its historical data, interfaces, CVIs, and traps are deleted. The deletion also affects any aggregations, views, and reports that previously included the router.

Follow these steps:

1. Verify that the router is no longer sending flows to CA Network Flow Analysis.
2. Select Administration from the NFA console menu.

   The Administration page opens.

3. Select Interfaces: Physical & Virtual from the Administration page menu.

   The Active Interfaces page opens and shows the list of routers.

4. Select the check box next to the name of the router that you want to delete.
5. Click Delete.

   A message opens to ask you to confirm the deletion.

6. Click Yes in the confirmation message.

   The following events result:

   • The router is deleted and the confirmation message closes.
   • All related historical data is purged permanently.
   • All related interfaces, CVIs, and traps are deleted.
   • The router is deleted from any related aggregations.
   • The data for deleted interfaces no longer appears in custom reports or NFA console views.
   • Any custom reports that are set to display only interfaces from the router are disabled.
   • The interface license count is reduced.
   • If you select Enable Interfaces from the Administration menu, the router is still visible on the Available Interfaces page even though it is no longer listed on the Active Interfaces page.
