both access points to completely remove the element. As a result, the QBrocade5 switch will also
be removed because it has the same access points as QBrocade2.

3. Select all of the access points for the element you want to delete. Then, click the Delete button
just above the table.
For example, assume you want to delete QBrocade2 in the previous figure. You would select the
two listings for QBrocade2 on the Discovered Elements tab and click the Delete button in the
Get Topology for Discovered Elements
table. If you delete only one of the listings,
QBrocade2 and QBrocade5 still appear in the topology since they are still accessible from one
of the switches.
When you are asked if you want to remove the access points and its associated elements, keep
in mind these elements will not be deleted if they are accessible from an access point not listed
in the Delete Access Points window. For example, assume you selected access point
192.168.10.25 to be deleted. You are then told that switch1 will be deleted along with the
access point. Let's assume switch1 is accessible from another access point, 192.168.10.29.
When you remove access point 192.168.10.25, switch1 will still be accessible because it can
be accessed from another access point that has not been removed.
4. Click OK if you want to remove the access points listed in the Delete Access Points window.
The access points are removed. If the elements listed have no other access points, they are no
longer accessible from the management server.
