How Do I Add and Delete Network Elements?
– In the Status tab of the Network Element Properties sheet, set the Operational State field to
OutofService; then, click Save.
– In the Domain Explorer, right click on the node and choose Mark Out of Service.
Step 2 In the Domain Explorer Hierarchy pane, select again all the NEs that will be deleted. To select multiple
NEs, press and hold down the Ctrl button; then, click each NE that will be deleted.
Step 3 You can delete the selected instance of the NEs or all instances of the NEs:
• Deleting the selected instance of the NE—Only the specific NEs that you selected in the Domain
Explorer Hierarchy pane will be deleted. To delete the selected instance of the NEs, choose Edit >
Delete; then, click Yes on the confirmation dialog box. If the selected NEs are the last instance of
the NE, the NEs are placed in the Deleted Network Elements group.
• Deleting all instances of the NEs—All NEs in the user domain that have the same NE ID as the NE
being deleted will be deleted. To delete all instances of the selected NEs, choose Edit > Delete All;
then, click OK in the confirmation dialog box. The NEs are placed in the Deleted Network Elements
group.
Note Both the Delete and Delete All menu options are enabled if at least one of the selected NEs can be
deleted. The confirmation dialog box lists the NEs that can and cannot be deleted.
Note You can use the mouse to drag and drop the selected NEs to the Deleted Network Elements group only
if all the selected NEs can be deleted.
4.2.7.3 Removing a Deleted Network Element
A deleted NE is placed in the Deleted Network Elements group.
Step 1 In the Domain Explorer Hierarchy pane, click the Deleted Network Elements group.
Step 2 Click the NE that will be removed from the Cisco MGM domain.
Step 3 Choose Edit > Delete; then, click Yes. This removes the NE from the client view and deletes all records
associated with the NE from the database.
Note • Wait until all records associated with the NE are deleted from the database before adding them back
again. Pruning operation takes about 5 minutes.
• The Deleted Network Elements group is seen by users who have add_delete_NE_group operation
permission. You can purge or undelete an NE that is in the Deleted Network Elements group only if
that NE was assigned to you.
