If the network management mode is set to

the network image contained in the

database will be propagated to the new

deconfigured, regardless if this option has

been set.

Test

Summary

Tests a router. You must set the router’s Neuron ID before

invoking this method.

You can use this method to verify that a router is able to

communicate on the network, and that a subset of its

configuration matches the information contained in the

OpenLNS database. To pass the test, a router with the

expected Neuron ID must exist on the network, and respond

to queries. If the router is installed, it must contain the

expected domain/subnet/node address, and respond to

subnet/node messages on that address. It must also contain

the expected program ID, and the expected network

management authentication setting (enabled or disabled). If

network management authentication is enabled on the

router, it must contain the correct system authentication key.

Furthermore, the test verifies that there are no other nodes

that respond with the tested nodes subnet/node address.
The results of the test are contained in the Router object's

LastTestInfo property.
This service analyzes the result with the assumption that the

node's network image is up-to-date; therefore, ensure that

the node is up-to-date by invoking this service only while the

MgmtMode property is set to

lcaMgmtModePropagateConfigUpdates (0). This is

because discrepancies between the OpenLNS database and

the current configuration of the router on the network are
