Remove Devices

You can remove devices from the graphic network map: from the current map calculation and/or from all future map calculations. If you only remove the device from current map, the device will appear in the map again once a new report is generated.

Note: A removed device will not appear in traffic simulation query results.

Get the Device ID

  1. Get the DeviceID of the device you wish to remove by right-clicking the device in the network map and selecting Routing Information.

    For example, the DeviceID is the Firewall name. For example,

    # Firewall name: Begonia_SRX

    Note: When the Routing Information option is not actionable, Find the Device ID in the database.
