Deleting Ports and Virtual Circuits
You can delete a WSX port or virtual circuit. When you delete a port or virtual circuit all
configuration parameters revert back to default settings. You can use the frdelete command to
delete:
• a single virtual circuit, or
• a port and all of its associated virtual circuits
The frdelete command always requires you to indicate at least a slot and port number. You
cannot, for example, enter frdelete along with no slot and port parameters.
Deleting a Virtual Circuit
You can delete a single virtual circuit as long as you know its DLCI number and the WSX port
where it exists. Deleting a virtual circuit resets the configuration parameters on that circuit to
configuration and bridging defaults. By default, a virtual circuit is assigned to Group 1.
Virtual circuits are also not actually “deleted” when you use frdelete . The Frame Relay
network stills sees them as active or inactive. If the virtual circuit was configured (manage-
ment circuit or a circuit configured through
frmodify ), then the database record for the circuit
is deleted; the VC is still present as long as it was present before you deleted it. If the virtual
circuit is learned (through status updates from the Frame Relay network), then the database
record for the circuit is deleted, but the circuit is still present.
To delete a virtual circuit, enter the following command
frdelete //
where is the Omni Switch/Router slot number for the WSX board, is the port to
which the virtual circuit maps, and is the identification number for the virtual circuit.
For example, if you wanted to delete virtual circuit 32 on Port 1 of the WSX board in slot 2,
then would enter:
frdelete 2/1/32
or
frd 2/1/32
This system returns the following prompt to confirm the deletion:
This will delete Slot 2, Port 1, DLCI 32. Continue? {(Y)es, (N)o} (N)
Enter a Y to confirm the deletion or press to cancel the deletion.
