Deleting Network Views
- Viktoryia Varapayeva (Deactivated)
Note
Exercise caution when deleting network views. After the network view is deleted, devices formerly within a deleted network view will not be immediately reachable by NetMRI. NetMRI will attempt to find an alternate IP address for such devices, perhaps from other virtual networks. If other reachable IP addresses for those devices are found, they will continue to be polled from the new location. If they are not located, their records will expire from the managed or discovered device databases.
If you delete a network view from the Settings icon > Setup > Network Views page, all discovery ranges and static IPs that are associated with the network view will also be deleted from their respective pages under the Settings icon > Setup > Discovery Settings.
When you delete a network view from NetMRI, all VRFs (virtual networks) that are a part of the Network View will become unassigned. When this occurs, a System Health warning message banner appears at the top of the screen. You can then reassign the unassigned VRF to another network view.
The scan interface that is associated with a deleted network view also becomes an unassigned interface. To delete a network view, perform the following:
- Click the Settings icon > Setup > Network Views. The Network Views settings page appears, listing all currently defined views.
- Hover over the Action icon for the chosen view and select Delete. A confirmation message appears.
- Click Yes to delete the network view. Its previously assigned network becomes unassigned.
At least one network view will always be active in the system. Attempts to delete the last remaining network view, regardless of name, will be prevented by NetMRI.
