Chapter 3 Network Configuration

Configuring Network Device Groups

Step 2 Perform one of the following steps, based on your use of NDGs:

a.If you are using NDGs, click the name of the NDG to which the remote agent belongs. Then, in the NDG Remote Agents table, click the name of the remote agent configuration you want to delete.

b.If you are not using NDGs, in the Remote Agents table, click the name of the remote agent configuration that you want to delete.

The Remote Agent Setup for the agent page appears.

Step 3 To delete the remote agent and have the deletion take effect immediately, click Delete + Apply.

Note Restarting services clears the Logged-in User report and temporarily interrupts all ACS services. As an alternative to restarting when you delete a remote agent, in the preceding step you can click Delete. However, when you do this, the change does not take effect until you restart services, which you can do by clicking System Configuration > Service Control > Restart.

A confirmation dialog box appears.

Step 4 Click OK.

ACS restarts its services and the remote agent configuration is deleted.

Configuring Network Device Groups

Network Device Grouping is an advanced feature that you use to view and administer a collection of network devices as a single logical group. To simplify administration, you can assign each group a name that can be used to refer to all devices within that group. This action creates two levels of network devices within ACS—single discrete devices such as an individual router or network-access server, and an NDG; that is, a collection of routers or AAA servers.

Caution To see the Network Device Groups table in the web interface, you must check the Network Device Groups option on the Advanced Options page of the Interface Configuration section. Unlike in other areas of Interface Configuration, it is possible to remove from sight an active NDG if you uncheck the Network Device Groups option. Therefore, if you choose to configure NDGs, ensure that you leave the Network Device Groups option selected on the Advanced Option page.
