Removing Forcepoint DLP modules
To remove a Forcepoint DLP module permanently, open the module node on the Settings > Deployment > System Modules page in the Data Security module of the Forcepoint Security Manager and click Remove. Typically, modules only need to be removed if their host system has changed both IP address and hostname.
When a module IP address or hostname changes:
*
In Forcepoint Web Security deployments, re-register the module in the Content Gateway manager.
*
In Forcepoint Email Security deployments, re-register the module in the Email Security module in the Security Manager.
*
For supplemental Forcepoint DLP servers, run the Forcepoint Security Installer in Modify mode to provide the new IP address and re-register the server.
See Changing the management server IP address or name for steps.
Do not use the Remove option to take modules out of service temporarily (for maintenance, for example). Instead, be sure to reroute traffic from those servers before taking them offline. Since the modules aren't sending transactions, they can remain registered.
Alternatively, a protector or mobile agent can be temporarily disabled to remove it from service. After re-enabling the protector or agent, click Deploy to return it to active service.
