Sending inventory to beacon where ICMP is disabled

Got an Internet facing Beacon, wherein, ICMP is disabled due to security concerns. Is it possible for an agent to send data over the Internet to this Beacon, while ICMP is still disabled?

Hi @Vishal 

I would say yes, because the agent uses the ping only to prioritize the possible beacons (https://docs.flexera.com/FlexNetManagerSuite2020R1/EN/GatherFNInv/index.html#SysRef/FlexNetInventoryAgent/topics/NetSel-SuppliedAlgors.html).

If the ping fails, the beacon will only get a lower priority, but will still be used. Decisive is only whether the agent can reach/resolve the URL "https://Server-FQDN/ManageSoftRL". Just try it and post the logs in case of problems (C:\Windows\Temp\ManageSoft)

Best, Dennis
