This feature optimizes the multicasting ability of the RapiDeploy application in
Deployment Server. This allows you to deploy images to a group of computers
simultaneously, download an image from a file server, or access a local hard drive, and
manage the imaging of several client computers.
Because RapiDeploy is more efficient when writing directly to the IP address of the
network adapter driver, you can enter a range of IP addresses when using the
multicasting feature to speed computer deployment and management. Deployment
Server accesses the range of computers using the defined IP pairs and avoids retrieving
the computers through the port and operating system layers.
However, some network adapter cards do not handle multiple multicast addresses. In
such instances, you can define a range of ports to identify these computers. On the first
pass Deployment Server accesses the selected computers using the list of IP numbers.
On the second pass, Deployment Server accesses the selected computers using the port
numbers.
To configure the RapiDeploy ports

The Program Option dialog appears.
2. Click the RapiDeploy tab.
3. Enter the range of ports in the Port > Range fields.
Note: The port values are 401 by default.
