Modifying or Deleting a Listener

Scenarios

You can modify a listener as needed or delete a listener if you no longer need it.

Deleted listeners cannot be recovered.

Frontend Protocol/Port and Backend Protocol cannot be modified after you have configured them. If you want to modify the protocol or port of the listener, add another listener to the load balancer.
