<hr />
<div>Dear community,<br />
<br />
We want to deploy Windows 7 images via multicast on 600 workstations. Unfortunately we encounter some problems with deploying via multicast.<br />
Unicast works fine.<br />
<br />
We've created a test environment in which multicast is posible (network switches).<br />
<br />
Our current FOG version: 0.32<br />
<br />
**************************************************************************<br />
'''Our current Multicast configuration:'''<br />
<br />
Other Information > FOG Settings > Multicast Settings:<br />
Fog_udpcast_interface: eth0<br />
Fog_udpcast_startingport: 63100<br />
Fog_multicast_max_sessions: 50 (in the real production migration we'll want change this to 100 if possible)<br />
<br />
I've created a group "Test Multicast"<br />
Added 5 workstations in it.<br />
Associated the same OS<br />
Associated the same Image<br />
<br />
**************************************************************************<br />
<br />
How can I use multicast? When I try to deploy from the Group Management, in "Deploy", multicast is provided to me. And when I take a look in Task Management > Active Multicast Tasks, I don't see the 5 workstations.<br />
I do see them under Active Tasks, which means that they will deployed via unicast.<br />
<br />
<br />
PLEASE HELP ME TO CONFIGURE MULTICAST!!!!<br />
<br />
We do need to limit the network data traffic due to an staged migration window within office hours.<br />
<br />
With kind regards,</div>Blackadder
