# Disable Kubernetes network policies for Amazon EKS Pod network traffic
<a name="network-policy-disable"></a>

Disable Kubernetes network policies to stop restricting Amazon EKS Pod network traffic.

1. List all Kubernetes network policies.

   ```
   kubectl get netpol -A
   ```

1. Delete each Kubernetes network policy. You must delete all network policies before disabling network policies.

   ```
   kubectl delete netpol <policy-name>
   ```

1. Open the aws-node DaemonSet in your editor.

   ```
   kubectl edit daemonset -n kube-system aws-node
   ```

1. Replace the `true` with `false` in the command argument `--enable-network-policy=true` in the `args:` in the `aws-network-policy-agent` container in the VPC CNI `aws-node` daemonset manifest.

   ```
        - args:
           - --enable-network-policy=true
   ```
