Delete Interfaces

You can delete interfaces on the Active Interfaces page. If you delete an interface, its historical data, related CVIs, and traps are deleted. The deletion also affects any aggregations, views, and reports that previously included the interface.

Follow these steps:

  1. Disable the interface, if it is not disabled already:
    1. Open the Available Interfaces page:
      • Select Administration from the NFA console menu.

        The Administration page opens.

      • Select System: Enable in the Administration menu.

        The Available Interfaces page opens.

    2. Locate the interface by using the Search function or by expanding the contents of the parent routers.
    3. Select the check box next to the interface.

      You can select and disable multiple interfaces simultaneously, including interfaces with different parent routers. All of your selections must be on the same display page, however. Moving to a different page clears any selections that you made on the previous page.

    4. Click Disable.

      The Enabled status is changed to No for the interface. New data from the interface is no longer collected or shown in reports, but data that is already collected is still available for reports.

  2. Open the Active Interfaces page:
    1. Select Administration from the NFA console menu.

      The Administration page opens.

    2. Select Interfaces: Physical & Virtual from the Administration menu.

      The Active Interfaces page opens, which lists the current routers and their active interfaces.

  3. Locate the interface and select the check box next to it.
  4. Click Delete.

    A confirmation message opens, which warns you about the results of the deletion.

  5. Click Yes in the confirmation message.

    The following events result:
