Delete Interfaces

If you delete an interface on the Active Interfaces page, 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: Use the Search function or expand the contents of the 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.

   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.

3. Locate the interface and select its check box.
4. Click Delete.

   A confirmation message warns you about the results of the deletion.

5. Click Yes.

   The following events result:

   • The confirmation message closes.
   • The interface is deleted from the Active Interfaces page, but not from the Available Interfaces page.
   • All related historical data is purged permanently.
   • Data for the deleted interface no longer appears in NFA console views and reports.
   • All related CVIs and traps are deleted.
   • The interface is deleted from any related aggregations.
   • The interface stops consuming capacity on the server that stored its data.
