## Class MulticastConfig

- java.lang.Object
- - com.hazelcast.config.MulticastConfig

-     public class MulticastConfig
      extends Object

  Contains the configuration for the multicast discovery mechanism.

  With the multicast discovery mechanism Hazelcast allows Hazelcast members to find each other using multicast. So Hazelcast members do not need to know concrete addresses of members, they just multicast to everyone listening.

  It depends on your environment if multicast is possible or allowed; you need to have a look at the TCP/IP cluster: `TcpIpConfig`.

      Sets the multicast group.
      Parameters:
        `multicastGroup` - the multicastGroup to set

    - #### setMulticastPort

          public MulticastConfig setMulticastPort(int multicastPort)

      Sets the multicast port.
      Parameters:
        `multicastPort` - the multicastPort to set

    - #### setMulticastTimeoutSeconds

          public MulticastConfig setMulticastTimeoutSeconds(int multicastTimeoutSeconds)

      Specifies the time in seconds that a node should wait for a valid multicast response from another node running in the network before declaring itself as master node and creating its own cluster. This applies only to the startup of nodes where no master has been assigned yet. If you specify a high value, e.g. 60 seconds, it means until a master is selected, each node is going to wait 60 seconds before continuing, so be careful with providing a high value. If the value is set too low, nodes might give up too early and create their own cluster.
      Parameters:
        `multicastTimeoutSeconds` - the multicastTimeoutSeconds to set
      Returns:
        the updated MulticastConfig
      See Also:
        `getMulticastTimeoutSeconds()`

    - #### getTrustedInterfaces

          public Set<String> getTrustedInterfaces()

      Gets the trusted interfaces.
      Returns:

        `setTrustedInterfaces(java.util.Set)`

    - #### setTrustedInterfaces

          public MulticastConfig setTrustedInterfaces(Set<String> interfaces)

      Sets the trusted interfaces.

      By default, when the set of trusted interfaces is empty, a Hazelcast member will accept join-requests from every member. With a trusted interface, you can control the members you want to receive join requests from.

      The interface is an IP address where the last octet can be a wildcard '*' or a range '10-20'.

      Parameters:
        `interfaces` - the new trusted interfaces
      Returns:
        the updated MulticastConfig

      Returns:
        the updated MulticastConfig
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if IP is `null`
      See Also:
        `setTrustedInterfaces(java.util.Set)`
