Removing Devices

Only a user with device administration privileges who has access to all the parent groups for this group is able to delete the group or device. A user who does not have such access is offered the option to unmap the group or device. Unmapping removes a device from a group, but does not delete it from the NMC-RX database.

To delete a device:

1. In the Network Workshop, select the device that you want to delete.
2. Right-click, and select Delete.

The Confirm Delete dialog box appears.

3. Click OK.

If you do not have the necessary access, the Delete Not Allowed dialog box appears. Because you cannot delete the device, this dialog box offers you the option of removing the device from its group.

4. Click OK.

The device is removed from the group and no longer appears as a member of the group, but it is not deleted from the NMC-RX database.
