localportrange means the same for discovery and for communication, it defines the range from which node will choose a port to bind. For example, you have 47100 - discovery port and localportrange 100, it means that if you run 10 nodes, first will take 47100, second 47101 and so on, but this means that you can run only 100 node. because ignite node can take only port between [47100..47199]
