This topic describes how to delete the Internet Protocol Version
4 (IPv4) or the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) for multicast ports so
that the node agent runs more efficiently.
Before you begin
You must install the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment
product before you can delete a multicast port.
About this task
To allow node installation to run out-of-the box, both IPv4 and
IPv6 are initially defined in the node agent configuration. To make the node
agent run more efficiently, delete the multicast port that the node is not
using.
To delete one of the multicast
ports using the administrative console, perform these steps:
Procedure
- Click System Administration > Node Agents.
- Select the node agent.
- On the next panel, under Additional Properties, select Ports.
The next panel shows a list of existing ports.
- Delete a multicast port.
Select either NODE_MULTICAST_DISCOVERY_ADDRESS to delete
IPv4 or NODE_IPV6_MULTICAST_DISCOVERY_ADDRESS to delete IPv6.
- Click Delete.
Results
You deleted either IPv4 or IPv6.
What to do next
You can continue to administer your Network Deployment product by
doing such tasks as managing nodes, node agents, and node groups.
