WHAT TO EXPECT

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

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 Linux page, the file should be readily available. If it is not then you can re-download the file using this command:

Download the installer:

wget http://172.41.128.25/swx/services/install/swx-xnic-install.sh;chmod +x swx-xnic-install.sh

Then uninstall using the newly downloaded file, or conversly run this command if the installer is already available.  

./swx-xnic-install.sh -u

Another option if 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 by using either of thecommands below:

curl http://<cloudwsXtch-ctrl-ip>/swx/services/install/swx-xnic-install.sh | bash -s  -- -u

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