Delete the IPv4 or the Internet Protocol Version 6 multicast port
This topic describes how to delete the Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) or the IPv6 (IPv6) for multicast ports so that the node agent runs more efficiently.
We must install the WAS ND before you can delete a multicast port.
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 admin console, perform these steps:
Procedure
- Click System administration > Node agents node_agent > Ports.
- On the Ports page, 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
We can continue to administer your WAS ND by doing such tasks as managing nodes, node agents, and node groups.
