Remove all the existing reserved IPv6 addresses in bulk.

    1. On the Virtual Cloud Networks list page, select the VCN that contains the subnet that you want to work with. This takes you to the VCN's details page. If you need help finding the list page or the VCN, see Listing VCNs.
    2. On the VCN details page, perform one of the following actions depending on the option that you see:
      • Select the Subnets tab, then select the name of the subnet you want to work with.
      • Scroll down to the table following the VCN details, which lists the subnets in the VCN. Select the name of the subnet you want to work with.
    3. Perform one of the following options depending on the option that you see:
      • Select the IP administration tab.
      • Under Resources, select IPv6 Addresses.
    4. To remove all IPv6 address reservations in bulk, select the checkbox next to the Name header, and then from the Actions menu (three dots) above the list, select Remove IP address reservation. You can also select the checkboxes for several IP addresses individually.
    5. In the Remove IP address reservation panel, select Remove IP address reservation.
      All the existing reserved IPv6 addresses in the Assigned state are unreserved excluding the ephemeral IPv6 addresses.

  • Use the ipv6 update command and required parameters to remove private IPv6 address reservation:

    oci network ipv6 update --lifetime
    Note

    If the reserved IPv6 address isn't attached to any instance or Virtual Network Interface Card (VNIC), then use the delete command to delete the reserved IPv6 address.

    For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.

  • If the reserved IPv6 address is attached to any instance or Virtual Network Interface Card (VNIC), run the UpdateIpv6 operation to remove a private IPv6 address reservation.
    Note

    If the reserved IPv6 address isn't attached to any instance or Virtual Network Interface Card (VNIC), then run the DeleteIpv6 operation to remove the private IPv6 address reservation.
