Answer

  • The system switch ethernet delete command is used to delete an Ethernet switch. This command is intended to be used to delete a switch that has been disconnected from the system, instead of waiting for it to be deleted automatically.
  • This command only removes a switch entry from ONTAP's Cluster/Storage Switch Health Monitor (CSHM) table.
  • The physical switch continues to operate normally and pass traffic. Cluster communication, management access, and client data access are not disrupted.
  • The switch can be re-added to monitoring using system switch ethernet create.
