Deleting a Host
A host can be deleted at any time using the ‘Hosts’ table accessed through the ‘Views’ pane. Be
careful when deleting a host. If the host is actively being referenced by a router, communication
with that router will terminate.
NV9000-SE uses a relational database. This means that if a record is referenced by another record,
the deletion will not be allowed. If there are dependences, when the deletion is attempted, NV9000-
SE informs you of the dependencies. Delete the dependencies first, then delete the originally
selected record.
