Delete an Endpoint

Deleting an endpoint removes the endpoint from its interface (if the interface is up), as well as removes the endpoint from the interface’s configuration file. The endpoint will not be removed from the ACSC management UI – it will still be shown, but with a “Deleted” status.

The corresponding endpoint on the other host will not be deleted. Deleting the endpoint on either side of a connection will prevent the connection from being used. But if you delete the endpoint one side of the connection, you may want to also delete the corresponding endpoint on the other host for “clean up” purposes (so that you or anyone else using the other host won’t expect to be able to connect through the now “dangling” endpoint).

Delete

To delete an existing endpoint, follow these steps:

1. Click the Hosts link in the app header.
2. Find the host containing the endpoint’s interface in the list, and click the host’s name to view the host’s main status page.
3. Find the endpoint in the Endpoints panel, and click its name to view the endpoint’s main status page.
4. Click the “trashcan” icon on the right side of the Endpoint panel.
5. A confirmation dialog will appear. Click the OK button in the dialog to queue the deletion of the endpoint.

Restore

To restore a deleted endpoint, follow these steps:

1. Click the Hosts link in the app header.
2. Find the host containing the endpoint’s interface in the list, and click the host’s name to view the host’s main status page.
3. Find the endpoint in the Endpoints panel, and click its name to view the endpoint’s main status page.
4. Click the “trashcan-with-arrow” icon on the right side of the Endpoint panel.
5. A confirmation dialog will appear. Click the OK button in the dialog to queue the re-creation of the endpoint.
