Deleting the Internet Protocol Version 4 or the Internet Protocol Version 6 multicast port

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.

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:

To delete the IPv6 multicast port using the Administrative Console, perform these steps:

Procedure

  1. Click System Administration > Node agents.
  2. Select the node agent.
  3. On the next panel, under Additional Properties, select Ports.

    The next panel shows a list of existing ports.

  4. Delete a multicast port.

    Select either NODE_MULTICAST_DISCOVERY_ADDRESS to delete IPv4 or NODE_IPV6_MULTICAST_DISCOVERY_ADDRESS to delete IPv6.

    Select NODE_IPV6_MULTICAST_DISCOVERY_ADDRESS to delete IPv6.

  5. Click Delete.

Results

You deleted either IPv4 or IPv6.
