Multicast configuration has a parameter that specifies the time to live (TTL) for multicast packets.
Use this parameter to limit multicast packets distribution via gateways.
The default value is 15. In practice, this enables the packets to pass up to 15 hops which may be
treated as an unlimited distance. The minimal value 1 will limit the packets circulation to one subnet.
By setting the permitted bandwidth, you can limit the network usage during deployment. The default
value is 1 gigabit (Gbit) per second.
Adjusting network utilization settings
Acronis Snap Deploy 5 uses Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) for multicasting. Therefore,
all network hardware (such as routers or network switches) must be IGMP-capable and correctly
configured. The specific information on configuring any particular router or network switch is usually
available in the documentation provided with the hardware.
If there is no IGMP-capable hardware (or you cannot configure it correctly) in the network, use the
Unicast data transfer mode.
Licensing
This setting determines which type of license to use for deployment to a target machine and what to
do when no appropriate license is available on the license server.
The preset is:

Use a deployment license of the corresponding type (a server license or a workstation license)

If no such deployment license is found, use a machine license of the same type
