with an example.
shows the overview of the operation and the status of the external paths.
When you delete the current external paths (A and B) and add new external paths (C and D), you
cannot delete both the current external paths (A and B) in one operation because at least one
current path that functions normally has to be configured. In this case, you need to delete the
external path A and add the external path C, and then apply the setting. After that, you need to
delete the external path B and add the external path D.
