Remove Policy and gateway

ScottG67 — Tue, 06 Sep 2022 21:02:36 GMT

Hello All,

I have an old gateway and policy in our environment that we have now decommissioned. The gateway has been physically disconnected and now I want to remove them out of the smartconsole. I am running R81.10 on my console and my other gateways. The gateway we removed was running R77.20. Can I simply remove the policy and the device from the console as outlined here:

or is there some other way I need to remove these?

Thanks,

Scott

I would also apply "Where Used" on the Security Gateway object to see all the references it has - in other objects, policies and rules.

In some cases you might have to replace it with a different Security Gateway (not to leave the value as Any or None)

After that you can check the 'Object Explorer' for unused objects to cleanup your unused objects and custom services of the removed Policy Package
