Job Management Partner 1/Software Distribution Setup Guide
These settings are for distributing jobs to lower systems using multicast distribution. The settings on this page apply to jobs for which you specify multicast distribution.
Figure 4-8 Multicast Distribution page
Specify the following two port numbers for multicast distribution of jobs:
Normally, you should use the displayed default port numbers. However, you must change a port number if some other program is using that port. It is important that you set a port number for Request a re-send, because multicast distribution uses the UDP protocol and packets may be resent during distribution.
If a port number is set in the services file of TCP/IP, the services file setting takes precedence.
Select this option and specify the multicast address and packet size for using the multicast method to send to lower systems jobs for which you have specified multicast distribution. The default is that this check box is not selected.
When this check box is not selected, jobs for which multicast distribution is specified are distributed by unicast distribution. Conversely, even if you select this check box, jobs for which unicast distribution is specified are sent by unicast distribution.
You should clear the Allow jobs to be sent by multicast distribution check box if there is a router in the network that is not compatible with IP multicasting. If the network includes routers that are not compatible with IP multicasting, unicast distribution is used; you cannot use multicast distribution. If you do select Allow jobs to be sent by multicast distribution, the system will require a long time to switch to unicast distribution in order to send a job.
