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.

Before you begin

You must install the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment product before you can delete a multicast port.

Why and when to perform 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:

Steps for this task

  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. Select either NODE_MULTICAST_DISCOVERY_ADDRESS to delete IPv4 or NODE_IPV6_MULTICAST_DISCOVERY_ADDRESS to delete IPv6.
  5. Click Delete.

Result

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.
