Description

The Remove-AzureRmVpnGateway cmdlet removes an Azure VPN gateway. This is a gateway specific to Azure Virtual WAN's software defined connectivity.

Examples

Example 1

PS C:\> New-AzureRmResourceGroup -Location "West US" -Name "testRG"
PS C:\> $virtualWan = New-AzureRmVirtualWan -ResourceGroupName testRG -Name myVirtualWAN -Location "West US"
PS C:\> $virtualHub = New-AzureRmVirtualHub -VirtualWan $virtualWan -ResourceGroupName "testRG" -Name "westushub" -AddressPrefix "10.0.0.1/24"
PS C:\> New-AzureRmVpnGateway -ResourceGroupName "testRG" -Name "testvpngw" -VirtualHubId $virtualHub.Id -BGPPeeringWeight 10 -VpnGatewayScaleUnit 2
PS C:\> Remove-AzureRmVpnGateway -ResourceGroupName "testRG" -Name "testvpngw" -Passthru

This example creates a Resource group, Virtual WAN, Virtual Hub, scalable VPN gateway in Central US and then immediately deletes it. To suppress the prompt when deleting the Virtual Gateway, use the -Force flag. This will delete the VpnGateway and all VpnConnections attached to it.

Example 2

PS C:\> New-AzureRmResourceGroup -Location "West US" -Name "testRG"
PS C:\> $virtualWan = New-AzureRmVirtualWan -ResourceGroupName testRG -Name myVirtualWAN -Location "West US"
PS C:\> $virtualHub = New-AzureRmVirtualHub -VirtualWan $virtualWan -ResourceGroupName "testRG" -Name "westushub" -AddressPrefix "10.0.0.1/24"
PS C:\> New-AzureRmVpnGateway -ResourceGroupName "testRG" -Name "testvpngw" -VirtualHubId $virtualHub.Id -BGPPeeringWeight 10 -VpnGatewayScaleUnit 2
PS C:\> Get-AzureRmVpnGateway -ResourceGroupName "testRG" -Name "testvpngw" | Remove-AzureRmVpnGateway-Passthru

This example creates a Resource group, Virtual WAN, Virtual Hub, scalable VPN gateway in Central US and then immediately deletes it. This deletion happens using powershell piping, which uses the VpnGateway object returned by the Get-AzureRmVpnGateway command. To suppress the prompt when deleting the Virtual Gateway, use the -Force flag. This will delete the VpnGateway and all VpnConnections attached to it.
