on a single-node system, the object must be defined as NODE1.
• GUI – This optional global object determines that the node supporting the GUI processes will
transmit the “ping” packet.
• CLI – This optional global object determines that the node supporting the CLI processes will
transmit the “ping” packet.

The value is either an IP address or a fullly-qualified name (FQN).
