Working with Signaling Points
Deleting a Signaling Point
After Discovery, the signaling points in your network are known to SGM and
added to the SGM database. Physically deleting signaling points from your
network is not the same as deleting them from the SGM database. The following
sections describe the differences between deleting signaling points from your
network and from the SGM database, and the procedures for doing so:
•Deleting a Signaling Point from Your Network, page3-167
•Deleting a Signaling Point from the SGM Database, page3-167

Deleting a Signaling Point from Your Network

If you physically delete a known signaling point from your network, it remains in
the SGM database, SGM labels it Unknown, and it is the system administrator’s
responsibility to delete it from the SGM database, if you choose to do so. SGM
also labels all associated linksets and links Unknown because SGM attempts to
poll the signaling point and gets no response.

Deleting a Signaling Point from the SGM Database

Typically, you delete a signaling point from the SGM database for one of the
following reasons:
•You have physically deleted the signaling point from your network. This is
the most common reason for deleting a signaling point from the SGM
database.
•The signaling point is Unknown or Unmanaged, you are aware of the reason,
and you no longer want to see it in SGM displays. For example, the signaling
point might be a test lab device.
•If you delete all linksets to an Unmanaged signaling point, SGM does not
automatically delete the signaling point. Instead, you must manually delete
the signaling point.
If you have physically deleted a known signaling point from your network, and
you then delete it from SGM, it is no longer in the SGM database, it does not
appear in SGM windows, and it is not discovered when you run Discovery.
