the status of the task until it completes. Replication time depends on the changes to the
master repository and the number of distributed repositories to which you are replicating.

systems in other locations can get updates from the distributed repositories.

Under Repository selection, specify the method to sort repositories:
• Ping time — Sends an ICMP ping to the closest five repositories (based on subnet
value) and sorts them by response time.
• Subnet value — Compares the IP addresses of client systems and all repositories and
sorts repositories based on how closely the bits match. The more closely the IP addresses
resemble each other, the higher in the list the repository is placed.
• User order in repository list — Selects repositories based on their order in the list.
