Coordinator IP – If the Auto-discovery option has not been enabled, the custom configuration of the Coordinator IP becomes available. This option is suitable if there are more than one subnet on the LAN, or if you want to dedicate one machine to be a Coordinator.

Tags are used for to segregate specific computers for specific rendering tasks. You can choose to use only computers that have a specific tag when rendering a Swarm render.

You can also have multiple tags, so you can tag computers by their amount of RAM or graphics card as well. Then say you only want to use machines with NVIDIA graphics cards, because you are doing a GPU render and you want to make sure they are all rendered with matching hardware.
