In the details pane, right-click the interface on which you want to configure multicast boundaries, and then click Properties.
On the Multicast Boundaries tab, do the following:
- To add a scope to the list of multicast scope boundaries, in Scope, click a configured scope, and then click Add.
- To remove a scope from the list of multicast scope boundaries, in Scoped boundaries, click the scope, and then click Remove.
- To enable TTL scoping, select the Activate TTL boundary check box, and in TTL value, click the arrows to set a TTL value.
- To set a rate limit, in Rate limit (KBps), type the rate in kilobytes per second.

Notes

To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group. As a security best practice, consider using the Run As command rather than logging on with administrative credentials. If you have logged on with administrative credentials, you can also open Routing and Remote Access by clicking Start, clicking Control Panel, double-clicking Administrative Tools, and then double-clicking Routing and Remote Access. For more information, see Default local groups, Default groups, and Using Run as.
Only scopes configured as multicast scopes are listed in Scope.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
