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

You can 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.

[IBM i] To delete the IPv6 multicast port using the Administrative Console, perform these steps:

Procedure

  1. Click System administration > Node agentsnode_agent > Ports.
  2. On the Ports page, delete a multicast port.

    [IBM i] Select NODE_IPV6_MULTICAST_DISCOVERY_ADDRESS to delete IPv6.

  3. Click Delete.

Results

[IBM i] You deleted IPv6.

What to do next

You can continue to administer your WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment product by doing such tasks as managing nodes, node agents, and node groups.
