Deleting a Secondary VNIC

On Compute Cloud@Customer, you can delete a secondary VNIC.

This operation detaches and deletes the specified secondary VNIC.

You can't delete an instance's primary VNIC.

When you delete an instance, all attached VNICs (primary and secondary) are automatically detached and deleted.

  The list of attached VNICs for that instance is displayed.
5. For the VNIC that you want to delete, click the Actions menu (), then click Delete.
6. Click Confirm.
  
  The VNIC state changes to Detached. After a few seconds, the VNIC is removed from the list.
7. Log onto the instance and delete the configuration for the IP address from the instance OS.
