 Install the [Azure CLI](/cli/azure/install-azure-cli), or use the [Azure Cloud Shell](../../cloud-shell/overview.md). The Azure Cloud Shell is a free shell that you can run directly within the Azure portal. It has the Azure CLI preinstalled and configured to use with your account.

 A public IP address is associated to an IP configuration of a network interface attached to a VM. Use the [az network nic-ip-config update](/cli/azure/network/nic/ip-config#az-network-nic-ip-config-update) command to dissociate a public IP address from an IP configuration.
 
 The following example dissociates a public IP address named *myVMPublicIP* from an IP configuration named *ipconfigmyVM* of an existing network interface named *myVMNic* that is attached to a VM named *myVM* in a resource group named *myResourceGroup*.

 A public IP address is associated to an IP configuration of a network interface attached to a VM. Use the [Get-AzNetworkInterface](/powershell/module/Az.Network/Get-AzNetworkInterface) command to get a network interface. Set the Public IP address value to null and then use the [Set-AzNetworkInterface](/powershell/module/Az.Network/Set-AzNetworkInterface) command to write the new IP configuration to the network interface.
