Exclude Interfaces or Interface Groups Temporarily

To remove interfaces from a report temporarily, set the Include value for the interfaces to Exclude. For example, suppose that part of your network is temporarily offline and the offline interfaces distort the report data. You can exclude the interfaces, then change the value back to ‘Include’ when the interfaces are online again.

Follow these steps:

1. Select Custom Reporting from the NFA console menu if the Custom Reporting page is not already open.
2. Put the report in editable mode: Click the name of the report. If the report has been run previously, it runs again. In this case, click Edit in the Report Settings section at the top of the report page.

   The Report Definition Summary page opens, which contains links to the Custom Report wizard pages.

3. Click Interface Filters to open the Select Interfaces page of the Custom Report wizard.
4. In the Select Interfaces list, set the Inclusion option to Exclude.
5. Click Save Changes.

   Your changes are saved and you return to the Report Definition Summary.

6. (Optional) Check your changes in the summary, then click one of the following buttons to return to the report list:
   • Return to Listing: Return to the report list on the Custom Reporting page.
   • Queue Report: Queue the report to run and return to the Custom Reporting page.
