Change in NIC agent
An optional attribute, BroadcastTest, is introduced in the NIC agent with the default value 1. This attribute specifies whether to perform a ping test on the broadcast address that is present on the NIC as part the monitor operation. The ping test determines whether the network connection is alive. This attribute is used if the ping test on the hosts specified in the NetworkHosts attribute fails. Disable this attribute if you want to perform the ping test only on the hosts provided in NetworkHosts.
Another optional attribute, PingTest, is introduced in the NIC agent with the default value 1.
This attribute specifies whether to perform a ping test on the NIC:
If set to 1, the monitor function determines whether the network connection is alive by pinging the hosts specified in the NetworkHosts attribute. If NetworkHosts is not set, it uses the broadcast addresses on the NIC to perform the ping test.
If set to 0, the monitor function does not perform the ping test. It only checks whether the NIC resource is up or down and returns the status.
