Type and dimension: string-association

Example: en0 = { "10.128.8.42", en1 = "10.128.8.42" }

Gateway

IP address for the default gateway.

Type and dimension: string-scalar

NetMask

Netmask for the base IP address.

Type and dimension: string-scalar

Required attributes
Required attribute	Description
BroadcastAddr	Broadcast address Type and dimension: string-scalar Example: "10.192.15.255"
Device	List of interfaces and their base IP addresses. Type and dimension: string-association Example: en0 = { "10.128.8.42", en1 = "10.128.8.42" }
Gateway	IP address for the default gateway. Type and dimension: string-scalar Example: "10.192.1.7"
NetMask	Netmask for the base IP address. Type and dimension: string-scalar

Optional attributes
Optional attribute	Description
HandshakeInterval	Computes the maximum number of attempts the agent makes either to ping a host (listed in the NetworkHosts attribute) when it fails over to a new NIC, or to ping the default broadcast address (depending on the attribute configured) when it fails over to a new NIC. To prevent spurious failovers, the agent must try to contact a host on the network several times before marking a NIC as faulted. Increased values result in longer failover times, whether between the NICs or from system to system in the case of faulted NICs. Type and dimension: integer-scalar Default: 1
NetworkHosts	The list of hosts on the network that are pinged to determine if the network connection is alive. Enter the IP address of the host, instead of the host name, to prevent the monitor from timing out. DNS causes the ping to hang. If this attribute is unspecified, the monitor tests the NIC by pinging the broadcast address on the NIC. If more than one network host is listed, the monitor returns online if at least one of the hosts is alive. Type and dimension: string-vector Example: "128.93.2.1", "128.97.1.2"
Options	The `ifconfig` command options for the base IP address. Type and dimension: string-scalar Example: "metric 4 mtu 1400"
PingOptimize	Determines whether to ping every monitor cycle. A value of 1 means that the agent pings either the network host or the broadcast address every monitor cycle to determine the state of the network interface. A value of 0 means that the agent uses the device statistics from the netstat output to determine the state of the interface. If no activity exists on the interface, the agent then pings the broadcast address to double-check the state of the network interface. Type and dimension: integer-scalar Default: 1
RouteOptions	String to add a route when configuring an interface. Use only when configuring the local host as the default gateway. The string contains the destination gateway metric. No routes are added if the value of this string is null. Type and dimension: string-scalar Example: "-net 192.100.201.0 192.100.13.7"
FailoverInProgress	For internal use only.
