Edit Router and Interface Details

Edit the properties of a router or interface. For example, you can edit properties to make corrections or to supply missing information.

Follow these steps:

1. 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.

2. Locate the routers, interfaces, or other elements that interest you. To display the contents under a router, click the arrow next to the router name.
3. Select the check box next to the items you want to edit. You can edit multiple interfaces and CVIs at the same time or edit multiple routers at the same time. You cannot edit a mix of routers, interfaces, and CVIs at the same time.
4. Click Edit.

   The dialog box opens for editing the selected item or items.

5. Modify the properties as needed, such as:
   • Router name, tenant-domain (if applicable), SNMP profile/version, port, and template

     (CA PC Deployment) The options to edit the SNMP profile and port are enabled once a tenant-domain is selected.

   • Interface name, description, speed, connection type, and domain (if applicable)

   Notes:

   • You can also edit properties for CVIs and aggregations.
   • If you select multiple elements to edit, editing options are restricted to their shared properties.
   • The tenant-domain setting for interfaces does not have to match the setting for the parent router. Changing the domain can affect which operators and reports have access to the related data.
   • Changing the tenant of a router in CA Performance Center can affect which SNMP profiles are available for polling the router's interfaces. This is not applicable to CA NetQoS Performance Center, which uses the same list of SNMP profiles for all routers.
6. Click Save.

   The Edit Router or Edit Interface dialog closes. The changes are shown on the Active Interfaces page.

Notes:

• If you delete an interface without disabling it, the interface will be added again automatically at any time that it begins sending flow.
