Description

The Remove-IpamRange cmdlet removes a given range of IP addresses from an IP Address Management (IPAM) server configuration. You can choose to delete the addresses that map to this range or to retain them.

Examples

Example 1: Remove an IP address range

PS C:\> Get-IpamRange -StartIPAddress 10.12.3.1 -EndIPAddress 10.12.3.254|Remove-IpamRange
Confirm

This will permanently delete the given IP Range from IPAM. Do you want to continue?

[Y] Yes  [N] No  [S] Suspend  [?] Help (default is "Y"): Y

This command removes an IP address range without deleting the mapped IP addresses. The mapped addresses are marked as unmapped and moved to unmapped address space.

Example 2: Remove an IP address range and mapped IP addresses

PS C:\> Get-IpamRange -StartIPAddress 10.12.3.1 -EndIPAddress 10.12.3.254|Remove-IpamRange -DeleteMappedAddresses
Confirm

Deleting the range with start IP address 10.12.3.1 and end IP address 10.12.3.254 managed by localhost instance of IPAM. Any addresses mapped to this range will be deleted. Do you want to continue?

[Y] Yes  [N] No  [S] Suspend  [?] Help (default is "Y"):Y

This command removes an IP address range and the corresponding mapped IP addresses.

Example 3: Remove an IP address range for an address space

PS C:\> Get-IpamRange -StartIPAddress 10.20.4.1 -EndIPAddress 10.20.4.99 -ManagedByService IPAM -ServiceInstance Localhost -Customer -CustomerAddressSpace Contoso | Remove-IpamRange -DeleteMappedAddresses
Confirm

This will permanently delete the given IP Range from IPAM. Do you want to continue?

[Y] Yes  [N] No  [S] Suspend  [?] Help (default is "Y"): Y

This command removes the customer IP addresses range by using the StartIPAddress and EndIPAddress parameters in the customer address space named Contoso

Parameters

-AddressSpace

Specifies an array of the IP address ranges to delete. If you do not specify a value, the cmdlet removes data for all NonVirtualized, Provider and Customer address spaces in IPAM.

Type:String[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.

For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Type:CimSession[]
Aliases:Session
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:cf
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-DeleteMappedAddresses

Indicates that the cmdlet deletes the IP addresses that map to an IP range, rather than retain them.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-EndIPAddress

Specifies an array of IP addresses. For this parameter, the addresses represent the high end of the range to remove.

Type:IPAddress[]
Position:2
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Force

Forces the command to run without asking for user confirmation.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-InputObject

Specifies the input to this cmdlet. You can use this parameter, or you can pipe the input to this cmdlet.

Type:CimInstance[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ManagedByService

Specifies an array of services that manage the range to remove.

Type:String[]
Aliases:MB
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-NetworkType

Specifies an array of network types for the addresses to remove.

The acceptable values for this parameter are:

  • Provider
  • Customer
  • NonVirtualized

If you do not specify a value, the cmdlet deletes all matching IP address ranges of network type Provider, Customer, and NonVirtualized.

Type:VirtualizationType[]
Accepted values:NonVirtualized, Provider, Customer
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-PassThru

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ServiceInstance

Specifies an array of service instances that manage the address ranges to remove.

Type:String[]
Aliases:SI
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-StartIPAddress

Specifies an array of IP addresses. For this parameter, the addresses represent the low end of the range to remove.

Type:IPAddress[]
Position:1
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Type:Int32
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:wi
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

Outputs

CimInstance[]

This cmdlet returns an object that represents IP address range objects deleted from IPAM.
