Hi,
what was the motivation to turn it off? There isn't a whole lot of Corosync traffic, so there is not much to gain, but it is a security risk if something other than Corosync ever reaches the network.
 
I can't remember but probably no motivation other than keep it simple.
Can I can change it with a simple edit of corosync.conf with no other side effects? Seems like it when I read the man page.
