removes the existing configuration and returns the GSS device to an initial
state, which includes deleting the GSSM database from the GSS device and
removing all configured DNS rules and keepalives. If you intend to power
down the GSS device, also enter the shutdown command.
gss1.example.com# gss disable
gss1.example.com# shutdown

page appears.
7. Click the Modify GSS icon located to the left of the GSS device you want to
delete. The Modifying GSS details page appears.
8. Click the Delete icon in the upper right corner of the page. The GSS software
prompts you to confirm your decision to delete the GSS device.
9. Click OK to confirm your decision and return to the Global Site Selectors list
page. The deleted device is no longer on the list.
For details on physically removing or replacing a GSS from your network, refer

To add the removed GSS or standby GSSM back into the GSS network, follow the
procedures outlined in the Cisco Global Site Selector Getting Started Guide. After
you configure the GSS or standby GSSM, you may reload the backup copy of the
GSS device startup configuration settings (see the
“Saving the Startup and
Running Configuration Files” section in Chapter 2, Managing the GSS from the
CLI).
