Use the **Remove DHCP record** workflow to remove a fixed address or reservation from the NIOS database. The workflow allows you to specify either a particular IP address or extensible attributes to search for the fixed addresses or reservations that must be removed. Note that IP reservation objects in NIOS consist only of IPv4 addresses. Fixed address objects may be either IPv4 or IPv6.
