<a name="Oracle.Options.NNE.Remove"></a>

You can remove NNE from a DB instance. 

To remove the `NATIVE_NETWORK_ENCRYPTION` option from a DB instance, do one of the following: 
+ To remove the option from multiple DB instances, remove the `NATIVE_NETWORK_ENCRYPTION` option from the option group they belong to. This change affects all DB instances that use the option group. After you remove the `NATIVE_NETWORK_ENCRYPTION` option, you don't need to restart your DB instances. For more information, see [Removing an option from an option group](USER_WorkingWithOptionGroups.md#USER_WorkingWithOptionGroups.RemoveOption). 
+ To remove the option from a single DB instance, modify the DB instance and specify a different option group that doesn't include the `NATIVE_NETWORK_ENCRYPTION` option. You can specify the default (empty) option group, or a different custom option group. After you remove the `NATIVE_NETWORK_ENCRYPTION` option, you don't need to restart your DB instance.
