Deprovision bring your own IP

If you no longer want to use your IP addresses in Google Cloud, you can deprovision your BYOIP addresses.

Different components take different times to deprovision.

Configuration Regional (v2) Regional (v1) Global (v1)
Public advertised prefix deprovisioning time Approximately 2 weeks Approximately 4 weeks Approximately 4 weeks
Public delegated prefix deprovisioning time A few minutes 4 weeks 4 weeks
Sub-prefix deprovisioning time A few minutes A few minutes A few minutes

Roles

To get the permissions that you need to complete the tasks in this guide, ask your administrator to grant you the Compute Public IP Admin (roles/compute.publicIpAdmin) IAM role on your project. For more information about granting roles, see Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations.

You might also be able to get the required permissions through custom roles or other predefined roles.

Deprovision BYOIP addresses

When you deprovision BYOIP addresses, complete the steps in the following sections in order.

Delete a public delegated prefix or sub-prefix

You can delete a public delegated prefix or sub-prefix if all IP addresses in the prefix are not assigned to resources:

  • For IPv4 prefixes: the IP addresses are unassigned. When you delete the prefix, all associated IP addresses are deleted.

  • For IPv6 prefixes: no forwarding rules are using IP address ranges from the sub-prefix.

Before you can delete a v2 regional public delegated prefix, the prefix must not be advertised. Check the status, and if needed, withdraw the prefix.

After the deletion process is started, you cannot make changes to the public delegated prefix.

When deletion is complete, the IP range from the deleted public delegated prefix is available in the public advertised prefix and can be delegated to a new public delegated prefix.

Console

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Bring your own IP page.

    Go to Bring your own IP

  2. Click the public delegated prefix that you want to delete, and then click Delete.

gcloud

To delete a public delegated prefix or a sub-prefix, use the public-delegated-prefixes delete command.

gcloud compute public-delegated-prefixes delete PDP_NAME \
    --region=PDP_REGION

To delete a global public delegated prefix or sub-prefix, replace --region=PDP_REGION with --global.

If the prefix was delegated to another project from this project, use the --project=PROJECT_NAME flag with the public-delegated-prefixes delete command to specify the project where the prefix is located.

Or you can use the following command to delete a sub-prefix that is delegated to another project without having to include that project in the command.

gcloud compute public-delegated-prefixes \
    delegated-sub-prefixes \
    delete SUB_PREFIX_NAME \
    --public-delegated-prefix=PARENT_PDP_NAME \
    --public-delegated-prefix-region=PDP_REGION

To delete a global public delegated prefix or sub-prefix, replace --public-delegated-prefix-region=PDP_REGION with --global-public-delegated-prefix.

Delete a public advertised prefix

You can delete a public advertised prefix if it is not in use. After the deletion process is started, you cannot make changes to the public advertised prefix.

Console

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Bring your own IP page.

    Go to Bring your own IP

  2. Select the public advertised prefix that you want to delete, and then click Delete prefix.

gcloud

To delete a public advertised prefix, use the public-advertised-prefixes delete command.

gcloud compute public-advertised-prefixes delete PAP_NAME \

You can verify that the removal is pending by checking the status of the public advertised prefix. The status is PREFIX_REMOVAL_IN_PROGRESS until the public advertised prefix is deleted.

Remove a ROA

After you successfully delete a public advertised prefix, you don't need to remove the ROA that points to Google's ASN. If you want to remove this ROA, you must wait 14 days after deleting the public advertised prefix before you remove the ROA. This waiting period gives Google Cloud time to update configurations in order to stop advertising your IP address range.
