Removing IPv4 interfaces

You might need to remove IPv4 interfaces that you have configured. You can use either IBM Navigator for i or the character-based interface to complete the task.

Prerequisites:

You must end an IPv4 interface before you remove it. This means the status of the IPv4 interface that you are about to remove must be inactive. See Ending IPv4 interfaces for how to end an IPv4 interface.
To remove an existing IPv4 interface by using the character-based interface, follow these steps:
Note: To run the RMVTCPIFC command, you must have *IOSYSCFG special authority.
  1. On the command line, type RMVTCPIFC (Remove TCP/IP Interface command) and press F4 (Prompt) to access the Remove TCP/IP Interface menu.
  2. At the Internet address prompt, specify the IPv4 address of the interface that you want to remove, and press Enter.
    Note: To remove an IPv4 DHCP client interface, specify the value *IP4DHCP for the Internet address prompt. Specify the corresponding line description name for the Line description prompt.
