Resolve Unused Object Issues
Unused objects are objects that exist in a device configuration but are not referenced by another object, an access-list, or a NAT rule.
Resolve an Unused Object Issue
- Open the Objects page and filter the objects to find unused object issues.
- Select an unused object.
- You now have these options:
- In the Actions pane, click Remove
to remove the unused object from CDO.
- In the Issues pane, click Ignore. If you ignore an object, CDO will stop displaying it among the results of unused objects objects.
- If you removed the unused object, review and deploy the changes you made now, or wait and deploy multiple changes at once.
Note: To resolve unused object issues in bulk, see Resolve Object Issues in Bulk.
