.SH "NAME"
.HP
gcloud compute instances delete\-access\-config \- delete an access configuration from a virtual machine network interface



.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP
\f5gcloud compute instances delete\-access\-config\fR \fIINSTANCE_NAME\fR [\fB\-\-access\-config\-name\fR=\fIACCESS_CONFIG_NAME\fR;\ default="external\-nat"] [\fB\-\-network\-interface\fR=\fINETWORK_INTERFACE\fR;\ default="nic0"] [\fB\-\-zone\fR=\fIZONE\fR] [\fIGCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG\ ...\fR]



.SH "DESCRIPTION"

\fBgcloud compute instances delete\-access\-config\fR is used to delete access
configurations from network interfaces of Compute Engine virtual machines.
Access configurations let you assign a public, external IP to a virtual machine.
The delete\-access\-config operation removes external IP from the instance
interface. If there is traffic routed to the external IP, after deleting the
access config operation, traffic to the external IP will not reach the VM
anymore.



.SH "EXAMPLES"

To remove the externally accessible IP from a virtual machine named
\f5\fIexample\-instance\fR\fR in zone \f5\fIus\-central1\-a\fR\fR, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud compute instances delete\-access\-config example\-instance \e
    \-\-zone=us\-central1\-a
.RE



.SH "POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fIINSTANCE_NAME\fR

Name of the instance to operate on. For details on valid instance names, refer
to the criteria documented under the field 'name' at:
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/instances

.SH "FLAGS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-access\-config\-name\fR=\fIACCESS_CONFIG_NAME\fR; default="external\-nat"

Specifies the name of the access configuration to delete.
\f5\fIexternal\-nat\fR\fR is used as the default if this flag is not provided.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-network\-interface\fR=\fINETWORK_INTERFACE\fR; default="nic0"

Specifies the name of the network interface from which to delete the access
configuration. If this is not provided, then \f5\fInic0\fR\fR is used as the
default.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-zone\fR=\fIZONE\fR

Zone of the instance to operate on. If not specified, you might be prompted to
select a zone (interactive mode only). \f5gcloud\fR attempts to identify the
appropriate zone by searching for resources in your currently active project. If
the zone cannot be determined, \f5gcloud\fR prompts you for a selection with all
available Google Cloud Platform zones.

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, the user can set the
\f5\fIcompute/zone\fR\fR property:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE
.RE

A list of zones can be fetched by running:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud compute zones list
.RE

To unset the property, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud config unset compute/zone
.RE

Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable
\f5\fICLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE\fR\fR.
