Remove NetIPAddress - PowerShell

Overview

The Remove-NetIPAddress command removes IP addresses from an existing network interface. It can be used to remove both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Syntax

Remove-NetIPAddress [-InterfaceAlias] <String> [-IPAddress] <String[]> [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [-PassThru]

Options/Flags

  • -InterfaceAlias: The alias of the network interface from which to remove the IP addresses.
  • -IPAddress: The IP addresses to remove from the network interface. You can specify multiple IP addresses by using a comma-separated list.
  • -Confirm: Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command.
  • -WhatIf: Shows what the command would do without actually executing it.
  • -PassThru: Returns the network interface object after removing the IP addresses.

Examples

Example 1: Remove an IPv4 address from a network interface

Remove-NetIPAddress -InterfaceAlias "Ethernet" -IPAddress "192.168.1.10"

Example 2: Remove multiple IPv6 addresses from a network interface

Remove-NetIPAddress -InterfaceAlias "Ethernet" -IPAddress "2001:db8::1", "2001:db8::2"

Common Issues

  • If the network interface does not exist, the command will fail.
  • If the IP address is not assigned to the network interface, the command will fail.

Integration

The Remove-NetIPAddress command can be used with other PowerShell commands to manage network interfaces. For example, you can use the Get-NetIPAddress command to get a list of the IP addresses assigned to a network interface, and then use the Remove-NetIPAddress command to remove the IP addresses you no longer need.

  • Add-NetIPAddress
  • Get-NetIPAddress
