This agent has its operations attribute permanently set to None.
Checks for activity on a configured interface by sampling input packets received on that interface. If it does not detect activity, it forces activity by sending out a broadcast ping. If it detects a failure, it migrates to the next available interface configured in the Device attribute.
Note
For AIX, systems do not respond to broadcast pings by default. You must run "no -o bcastping=1" in order to enable response to broadcast pings.
