Delete a host

Delete a host

This option deletes the selected host(s) from the Host View.

Deleting a host from the Host View that is also displayed in the Topology View, removes that host from both views. Deleting a host from the Topology View does not delete it from the Host View.

If a device has been detected as a Rogue host and then later manually entered as a device, the Rogue host record remains in the database. It is important to remove the corresponding Rogue host record so there is no conflict between the two records with the same MAC address.

  1. Select Hosts > Host View.
  2. Use the Quick Search or Custom Filter to locate the appropriate Host(s).
  3. Select the hosts to be deleted.
  4. Click Delete at the bottom of the Host View.
