All devices in a single branch must be configured using the same value for this parameter. If you are not using multicast, deploy the Nomad branch agent with the MODULE.NOMAD.MULTICASTSUPPORT property set to 0 to reduce the noise in the logs. Prior to Nomad 7.0 multicast was enabled (0x1) by default. Now it is disabled (0x0) by default. |
