On testing UDP freeRTOS demos (both) , pinging takes too long when EKRA6M5 is connected to the laptop via ethernet

• Hardware description: EKRA6M5
• RTOS: Ubuntu 20 , (tested on both ROS humble and foxy)
• Installation type: UDPv4 micro-ROS Agent
• Version or commit hash: FSP 4.4

Steps to reproduce the issue

followed the instructions to test the UDPv4 micro-ROS agent. The code is built and flashed properly. But the ping takes about 1-1.5 minutes and even after that the agent doesn't run.
Also there are no ros topics published or nodes listed.

Expected behavior

The boards connect and the agent runs rightaway

Actual behavior

The ping takes a lot of time.

Hello @Srichitra-S please we need you to provide more details and be more precise on your issues.

What does means that "agent runs only after a long time"? That means that when you run the agent command (ros2 run micro_ros_agent micro_ros_agent [args] if takes time to start the process?

What is a lot of time? Hours?
