Description

The Remove-IpamAddress cmdlet removes a set of addresses from IP Address Management (IPAM). The cmdlet removes the specified IP address records permanently from the IPAM database. Specify the IP addresses to remove or use the InputObject parameter to specify an IpamAddress object to remove.

The cmdlet does not remove any reservations on the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server or Domain Name System (DNS) records. You can use Windows PowerShell for DHCP Server to remove a reservation from the DCHP server. You can use Windows PowerShell for DNS to remove the DNS records associated with the IP addresses that you remove.

Examples

Example 1: Remove all IP addresses in range

PS C:\> $Range = Get-IpamRange -StartIPAddress 10.12.3.1 -EndIPAddress 10.12.3.254
PS C:\> Get-IpamAddress -MappingToRange $Range | Remove-IpamAddress
Confirm

Deleting the given IP Address from IPAM database. You will not be able to undo this action. Do you want to continue?

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

This example removes all IP addresses in a range.

The first command uses the Get-IpamRange cmdlet to get an IpamRange object that contains the addresses that belong to a range of IP addresses. The command stores the object in the $Range variable.

The second command uses the Get-IpamAddress cmdlet to get an IpamAddress object that contains the IP addresses that map to the range stored in the $Range variable. The command passes the IpamAddress object to the Remove-IpamAddress cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. The command removes the addresses in the range stored in the $Range variable.

Example 2: Remove all expired physical addresses managed by IPAM

PS C:\> Get-IpamAddress -AddressFamily IPv4 -AddressCategory Private -ManagedByService IPAM | Where-Object {$_.ExpiryStatus -eq "Expired"} | Remove-IpamAddress

This command gets an IpamAddress object that contains the physical addresses managed by IPAM that have expired. The command passes the IpamAddress object to the Remove-IpamAddress cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. The Remove-IpamAddress cmdlet removes the IpamAddress object.

Example 3: Remove a customer IP address

PS C:\> Remove-IpamAddress -IpAddress 172.16.10.16 -AddressSpace "Default"

This command removes the customer IP address 172.16.10.16 from the default address space.

Example 4: Remove a provider IP address

PS C:\> Remove-IpamAddress -IpAddress 172.16.10.19 -AddressSpace "Default" -NetworkType Provider

This command removes the provider IP address 172.16.10.19 from the default address space.
