# CLI Detach Node

The `pf9ctl detach-node` command will detach a node from any cluster it is currently attached to. Detaching the node from a cluster allows the user to reattach it to another cluster. To employ this action, run the `pf9ctl detach-node` command. This action also supports passing a list of node IPs to detach via an additional flag. If the flag is not supplied, the command will detach the node on which it was executed.

## Syntax Example

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Bash" %}

```bash
pf9ctl detach-node [flags]
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## All Available Commands and Flags

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Bash" %}

```bash
pf9ctl detach-node --help
Detach nodes from their clusters. If no nodes are passed it will detach the node on which the command was run.

Usage:
  pf9ctl detach-node [flags]

Flags:
  -h, --help              help for detach-node
      --mfa string        MFA token
  -n, --node-ip strings   node ip address

Global Flags:
      --no-prompt   disable all user prompts
