Delete a Network

Required Tenable Vulnerability Management User Role: Scan Manager or Administrator

• If you delete a network, assets that were in the deleted network still retain the network attribute.
• Tenable Vulnerability Management retains any asset records for the deleted network until the assets age out of your licensed assets count. You can still filter for assets that use the deleted network.
• You cannot create a new network that has the same name as a deleted network.

Before you begin:

Before you delete a network, consider the following:

• Consider moving assets to a different network before you delete the network. To move assets from a deleted network to another network, you must use the Tenable Vulnerability Management API.
• Tenable Vulnerability Management re-assigns any scanners or scanner groups in the deleted network to the default network. If you want to delete the scanners or scanner groups, see Remove a Sensor from a Scanner Group and Delete a Scanner Group.
