Delete the Internet Protocol V4 or the Internet Protocol V 6 multicast port

This page describes how to delete the Internet Protocol V 4 (IPv4) or the Internet Protocol V6 (IPv6) for multicast ports so that the node agent runs more efficiently. You must install the WAS ND product before we 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:

 

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 either NODE_MULTICAST_DISCOVERY_ADDRESS to delete IPv4 or NODE_IPV6_MULTICAST_DISCOVERY_ADDRESS to delete IPv6.

5. Click Delete.

 

Results

You deleted either IPv4 or IPv6.

 

Next steps

We can continue to administer WAS ND by doing such tasks as managing nodes, node agents, and node groups.
