Disables logging of DHCP Media Sense events.
By default, DHCP records an event in the System Log in Event Viewer when network media is connected or disconnected. The log provides a record that can be used when troubleshooting network problems.
Media Sense provides a mechanism for network adapters to notify the protocol stack of when network media is connected and disconnected. The protocol stack can then update its network configuration parameters. Media Sense is especially useful on portable computers which are commonly disconnected from one network and connected to a different network.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Enables logging of media sense events. |
| 1 | Disables logging of media sense events. |
Note
Because 10b2 or coaxial (RG-58) Ethernet cable is not a connection-based media, media sense does not detect connection and disconnection events on this type of network cable.
NetBEUI and IPX do not recognize media sense events.
