MulticastAddressRangeLower
[The MulticastAddressRangeLower property is no longer available for use as of Windows Server 2012.]
This property is not supported.
**Windows Server 2003: **
Specifies the lower bound of a range from which a multicast address should be chosen if no Multicast Address Dynamic Client Allocation Protocol (MADCAP) server can be found. The following table summarizes the attributes of the MulticastAddressRangeLower property.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Data type | Null-terminated Unicode string |
| Access | Read/write |
| Status | Optional |
| Structure | CLUSPROP_SZ |
| Maximum | None (but see Maximum Property Size.) |
| Default | 239.255.0.0 |
Remarks
Class D IPv4 addresses are in the range 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
If either the MulticastAddressRangeLower or MulticastAddressRangeUpper property is not a Class D IPv4 address, the value of both properties is ignored and the default value is used. The cluster service does not report an error when this occurs.
The CLUSPROP_SZ_DECLARE macro creates a CLUSPROP_SZ structure with an array of the correct size.
Examples
The property value portion of a property list entry for MulticastAddressRangeLower can be set with the following example code.
WCHAR szMulticastAddressRangeLowerData[] = L"239.255.0.0";
CLUSPROP_SZ_DECLARE( MulticastAddressRangeLowerValue,
sizeof(szMulticastAddressRangeLowerData) / sizeof(WCHAR) );
MulticastAddressRangeLowerValue.Syntax.dw = CLUSPROP_SYNTAX_LIST_VALUE_SZ;
MulticastAddressRangeLowerValue.cbLength = sizeof(szMulticastAddressRangeLowerData);
StringCbCopy( MulticastAddressRangeLowerValue.sz,
MulticastAddressRangeLowerValue.cbLength,
szMulticastAddressRangeLowerData );
