Deleting a Route

Note  Deleting a route from a virtual device removes the route from its associated route groups and the Routes and Route Groups listbox. If you want to remove a route from a route group but keep it available in the Routes and Route Groups listbox, disassociate the route instead.

Note  To delete a route from its grandparent route group, you must delete the route from its parent route group.

Complete the following steps to delete a route:

1. Launch NI MAX with NI Switch Executive.
2. Expand Devices and Interfaces»NI Switch Executive Virtual Devices.
3. Select the NI Switch Executive virtual device to modify and navigate to the Schematic Configuration tab.
4. Click the device that contains the route that you want to delete in the Devices listbox. NI Switch Executive displays the device schematic in the Schematic window.
5. Enable the Show Routes checkbox below the Routes and Route Groups listbox.
6. Click the route to delete in the Routes and Route Groups listbox.

   Note  If the route you want to delete is shared among multiple route groups, selecting the route within the route group will prompt you to disassociate the route, rather than delete it. To delete the route, select it as shown in the listbox not nested under any route groups.

7. Click or right-click the route and select Delete to delete the route.

   Tip  With the parent route group selected in the Routes and Route Groups listbox, you can delete a route associated with a single route group by clicking the point of intersection—crosspoint or channel connection point—between two channels in the Schematic window. For third-party IVI-switch and independent topologies, with the parent route group selected in the Routes and Route Groups listbox, you can delete a route associated with a single route group by selecting the route from the Connections listbox and clicking Delete.

8. Click OK to delete the route.
9. Click on the NI Switch Executive taskbar to save the changes.
