connect to the IP address that you have provided. By default, it pings the Gateway IP, DNS server IP,

and host IP.

NOTE: Lifecycle Controller cannot ping the domain name and cannot display the IP address if

the DNS is not able to resolve the domain name. Make sure that the issue with DNS is resolved

and retry.
