Updating or Deleting a Node Online or Offline

This procedure describes how to update or delete a node within the CSA graphical user interface when the CSA is connected to a CSP or not connected.

Before you begin

Updating

If the node to be updated is online, you must already have system software downloaded through a TFTP server. The LLC and SwitchManager must be running. For information on starting the LLC and SwitchManager refer to the SwitchKit documentation set.

Deleting

If the node to be deleted is online you must already have system software downloaded through a TFTP server. The LLC and SwitchManager must be running. For information on starting the LLC and SwitchManager refer to the SwitchKit documentation set.

If you already have other nodes configured, selecting the menu option Configuration® Configure Through SwitchMgr® Send All Configurations To Switch will reconfigure those nodes.
