- Cluster Multicast Address (IPv4)
- Specify an Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) address that falls
within the range 224.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255. This address is used
for multicasting, which is a process of logically sending a single
message to one or more peer nodes. The Cluster Manager uses this address
to multicast control messages to the cluster nodes to speed the distribution
of information needed to coordinate action when a node failure occurs.
A single multicast address is needed when you configure
two or more nodes per nonsite cluster. If you do not specify a multicast
address, the wizard creates one for you.
