Organizing Your Network with Groups and Devices > Deleting a Device

Deleting a Device

If you have device administration privileges, you can delete a device. We do not recommend, however, that you delete a configured device. If you need to delete a device, the NMC-RX application allows you to delete it from the Network Workshop. If you delete a device, you must re-create the device to get the model again.

NOTE: A device can be a member of more than one group. If you do not have security access to all the groups of which the device is a member, you are not allowed to delete the device. You are allowed to remove the device from the group to which you have security access. See Chapter 8, Configuring Security Settings.

Occasionally, you may need to delete a device that you created in error.

To delete a device:

1. From the Network Workshop, select the device that you want to delete, right-click, and select Delete.

The Confirm Delete dialog box appears.

2. Click OK.

The device is deleted.
