Removing scopes

You can remove a scope if you no longer want to use it or the IP addresses it contains.

Scopes are logical groupings of IP addresses associated with a specific subnet mask. IP addresses are allocated from scopes when IP-based sites are created. Scopes and IP addresses are not used when name-based sites are created.

- Scopes can only be removed if all the IP addresses in them are available (neither reserved nor in use).

To remove a scope:

1. On the top navigation bar, click administration, then click the ip addresses tab.

2. On the scope list, select the scope
   you want to remove. Make sure that the scope you want to remove has no IP addresses that are reserved or in use. All IP addresses in the scope must be listed as available.

3. Click edit.

4. On the action bar above the Overview Scope form, click Remove.

5. Verify the scope you are removing, then click OK.
