WHAT TO EXPECT

In this article, users will learn how to remove the xNIC from their Windows system.

Uninstalling xNIC on Windows 

The uninstall procedure needs the original installation script that is downloaded from the cloudSwXtch. If the user proceeded with the commands proposed in the Install xNIC on Windows page, the file should be readily available. The uninstall can be done using the following command:

.\swx-xnic-install.ps1 -u

If the installation script is not available, the cloudSwXtch is still running in the network, and the agent has connectivity to that VM, users can opt for a one-liner download & execute command:

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri http://<cloudwsXtch-ctrl-ip>/swx/services/install/swx-xnic-install.ps1 -Outfile swx-xnic-install.ps1; .\swx-xnic-install.ps1 -u

If the file is not available and the cloudSwXtch is not running anymore, please contact support@swxtch.io for help.
