Port used, along with the mcast-address, for multicast communication with other members of the distributed system.
If zero, multicast is disabled for member discovery and distribution.
Note: Select different multicast addresses and ports for different distributed systems. Do not just use different
addresses. Some operating systems may not keep communication separate between systems that use unique
addresses but the same port number.
Valid values are in the range 0..65535.
