Vulnerability Insight:
- External out-of-band server:

Used for out-of-band (OOB) interactions in specific active checks where an external systems is
required. Currently this system needs to be accessible to the target via HTTP(s) and respond to
all HTTP requests (including e.g. POST methods) with a 200 (Found) HTTP status code.

- Network type:

This allows to configure the type of the network which is getting scanned to change the behaviour
/ results of some Vulnerability Tests. If the scanned network is e.g. a private LAN which contains
systems not accessible to the public (access restricted) and it is accepted that some of these
systems are accessible without a password set this setting to 'Private LAN'.

Note: The 'Mark host as dead if going offline (failed ICMP ping) during scan (deprecated)'
functionality is deprecated and therefore no longer functional. Please:

- Update the software on the scanner host to version 22.04 or later

- Configure the system to use Boreas (already configured if using the Greenbone Operating System
22.04+)

- Use / configure the 'max_vts_timeouts' scanner preference accordingly
