Unsubscribing and re-enrolling a sensor or hybrid appliance

Prev Next

Use the commands in this section if you need to unsubscribe a sensor or hybrid appliance and then re-enroll it.

Note

You can also use the Select > Un-Enroll And Delete option on the Sensors page of the managing Central Management appliance to unsubscribe a sensor or hybrid appliance when you delete it from the Central Management appliance.

To unsubscribe a sensor or hybrid appliance:
  1. Unsubscribe the sensor or hybrid appliance:

    appl-hostname (config) # mvx cluster unenroll now
  2. Verify your change:

    appl-hostname (config) # show mvx cluster enrollment status
  3. Save your change:

    appl-hostname (config) # write memory

    Note

    If you unsubscribe a sensor or hybrid appliance, it will not be automatically enrolled again, even though the status shows that automatic enrollment is enabled. Use the ivx cluster enroll now command to re-enroll a sensor or hybrid appliance that was unsubscribed using the ivx cluster unenroll now command.

To re-enroll a sensor or hybrid appliance:
  1. Log in to the sensor or hybrid appliance CLI.

  2. Enable the CLI configuration mode:

    appl-hostname > enable
    appl-hostname # configure terminal
  3. Re-enroll the sensor or hybrid appliance:

    appl-hostname (config) # mvx cluster enroll now
  4. Verify your change:

    appl-hostname (config) # show mvx cluster enrollment status
  5. Save your change:

    appl-hostname (config) # write memory
