This topic describes how to release the internal endpoint of a shard or Configserver node
Prerequisites
The sharded cluster instance uses the MongoDB protocol.
Limits
- The endpoint of a mongos node cannot be released.
- Before you release the endpoint of a shard or Configserver node, keep the account and password of the node. This is because ApsaraDB for MongoDB only allows you to specify the account and password of a node when you apply for an endpoint for the first time.
- When the endpoint of a shard or Configserver node is released, the endpoints and IP addresses of all subnodes in the node are released and you can no longer connect to the node by using the endpoint. Proceed with caution.
- The procedure in this topic releases only the internal endpoint of a shard or Configserver node. To release the public endpoint of a shard or Configserver node, see Release a public endpoint.
