ACRONIS SNAP DEPLOY 3 - FOR WORKSTATION Manual page 64

Acronis Snap Deploy uses Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) for the multicasting.
Therefore, all the network hardware (routers and/or switches) must be IGMP-capable and correctly
configured. The specific information on configuring any particular router or 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.
MAC filtering
Acronis Snap Deploy has the ability to disable deployment on computers with specified MAC addresses.
This protects production servers and user's systems from unfortunate events. The program can import
the access list from a text file or save the MAC addresses you type in.
Both straight (enabling) and inverse (disabling) lists are supported, but only one list can be active at
any one time.
The enabling (inclusion) list has to contain all computers that are allowed to be the deployment
targets. You can add only one MAC address if a computer has more than one network interface card.
Deployment through any network interface that is not in the list will be prohibited.
The disabling (exclusion) list has to include all computers that are not allowed to be the deployment
targets. Add all MAC addresses if a computer has more than one network interface card. Deployment
through any network interface that is not in the list will be permitted.
MAC filtering is a general option of Acronis OS Deploy Server and not a property of a
deployment template. Whenever and whatever type deployment is executed, the program
uses the access list that exists at that time. That's why the option can be found when editing
the default options only.
