NetConfig options

At times, BOX can take a long time to get started. Must of this time is spent in validation, especially when there are many threads that have host names or IP addresses that cannot be reached.

When one or more threads are selected and a new BOX is created, the system could stall while performing DNS validation.

To shorten the validation time, you can opt to omit network validation.

When validation is not performed, the time required in operations such as saving Network Configurator or creating a BOX is decreased.

These options are available on the NetConfig tab:

  • Verify whether the host is reachable in thread

    This disables/enables host reachable validation for a thread.

  • Verify whether the thread is reachable in destination thread

    This disables/enables thread reachable validation for a destination thread.

By default, these options are selected.

Note: You must restart the GUI when these options are cleared (validation is not performed).
