Deleting L2 Bridge External Connectors

An L2 bridge which is no longer in use may be removed from the CML host. Removing the default System Bridge is not supported.

Make sure you are not deleting a DHCP Network bridge using this procedure, there are additional configurations (e.g., the DHCP server and NAT configuration) which cannot be removed this way, and will result in an inconsistent state on the CML host. Use Editing and Deleting DHCP Network Bridges to manage DHCP networks.

Procedure


Stop all External Connector lab nodes which make use of the deleted bridge. Deleting the bridge while there are interfaces present is not recommended.

Log into the System Administration Cockpit as the system administrator account. See Logging into the System Administration Cockpit.

Click Networking in the navigation bar on the left side of the page.

In the Interfaces table, click a bridge name to open a configuration subpage for it.

Click Delete.

The network and bridge is removed from the Interfaces table. It must be unregistered from the CML UI in order to complete the removal.

Log into the CML UI as a user with administrator privileges.

Click the Tools ‣ System Administration menu item.

On the System Administration page, click External Connectors.


The External Connectors page is shown with a table of all current entries.

All entries representing bridges which are no longer present on the host will be removed.
