Use this page to view information about and configure a node agent. A node agent coordinates administrative requests and event notifications among servers on a machine. A node agent is the running server that represents a node in a Network Deployment environment.
To view this administrative console page, click System Administraton > Node Agents > node_agent_name.
A node agent must be started on each node in order for the deployment manager node to be able to collect and control servers configured on that node. If you use configuration synchronization support, a node agent coordinates with the deployment manager server to synchronize the node's configuration data with the master copy managed by the deployment manager.
You must initially start a node agent outside the administrative console. For information on how to initially start a node agent, see the WebSphere Application Server Information Center.
The Runtime tab displays only when a node agent runs.
Configuration tab

| Data type | String |

The name is 1-8 characters, alpha-numeric or national language. It cannot start with a numeric.
The system assigns a cell-unique, default short name.

| Data type | String |
The name of the cell for the node agent server.
| Data type | String |
| Default | host_nameNetwork |
The name of the node for the node agent server.
Both Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) are now supported by WebSphere Application Server, but there are restrictions that apply to using both IPv4 and IPv6 in the same cell. Note that when a node is added to a cell, the format in which the name is specified is based on the version of IP the node will be using.
Note: Although WebSphere Application Server supports IPv4 and IPv6, iSeries currently does not support IPv6.
| Data type | String |
Indicates whether the node agent server is started or stopped.
