Deleting the Internet Protocol V4 or the Internet Protocol Version 6 multicast port

This topic describes how to delete the Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) or the 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.

Overview

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 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 NODE_IPV6_MULTICAST_DISCOVERY_ADDRESS to delete IPv6.

5. Click Delete.

Results

You deleted IPv6.
