Detailed Description

The Remove-NetIPAddress cmdlet deletes IP address and the configuration properties of that IP address. To remove a specific IP address object, be sure to use the IPv4 Address parameter or IPv6 Address parameter. Other parameters will remove all IP addresses with the matching property.

Parameters

-AddressFamily<AddressFamily[]>

Removes all IP addresses that have a specific IP address family. A read-only property. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
-- IPv4: IPv4 address information.
-- IPv6: IPv6 address information.

-AddressState<AddressState[]>

Removes all the IP addresses that have a specific duplicate address detection (DAD) state for an IPv4 and IPv6 address. A read-only property. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
-- Invalid: IP address configuration information for addresses that are not valid and will not be used.
-- Tentative: IP address configuration information for addresses that are not used for communication, as the uniqueness of those IP addresses is being verified.
-- Duplicate: IP address configuration information for addresses for which a duplicate IP address has been detected and the current IP address will not be used.
-- Deprecated: IP address configuration information for addresses that will no longer be used to establish new connections, but will continue to be used with existing connections.
-- Preferred: IP address configuration information for addresses that are valid and available for use.

<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see    about_CommonParameters (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216).

Inputs

The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.

• Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#root\StandardCimv2\MSFT_NetIPAddress

  The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.

Outputs

The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

• None

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This example adds a new IP address.

PS C:\> New-NetIPAddress –InterfaceIndex 12 –IPAddress 192.168.0.1

The remove cmdlet then removes it.

PS C:\> Remove-NetIPAddress –IPAddress 192.168.0.1

EXAMPLE 2

This example provides an alternative method to EXAMPLE 1 that removes all of the IP addresses that have an IP address of 192.168.0.1.

PS C:\> Get-NetIPAddress –IPAddress 192.168.0.1 | Remove-NetIPAddress

EXAMPLE 3

This example removes all of the IP addresses that have a manually configured prefix origin.

PS C:\> Remove-NetIPAddress –PrefixOrigin Manual
