CIM_EthernetPort¶

Key properties¶

Local properties¶

uint16[] Capabilities

Capabilities of the EthernetPort. For example, the Device might support AlertOnLan, WakeOnLan, Load Balancing, or FailOver. If failover or load balancing capabilities are listed, a SpareGroup (failover) or ExtraCapacityGroup (load balancing) should also be defined to completely describe the capability. LLDP indicates that this Ethernet Port is capable of supporting Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) communications. PoE indicates that this Ethernet Port is capable of supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE). EEE indicates that this Ethernet Port is capable of supporting Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE). DCE indicates that this Ethernet Port is capable of supporting Data Center Ethernet. Data Center Ethernet requires support for Prioritiy-Based Flow Control (PFC), Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS), and Data Center Bridging eXchange (DCBX) protocol. VDP indicates that this Ethernet Port is capable of supporting Virtual Station Interface (VSI) Discovery Protocol. S-Channel indicates that this Ethernet Port is capable of supporting S-Channel.

uint16 PoEPowerEntityType

uint16 PVID

Each ethernet port on an ethernet switch has a VLAN ID that is called Port VLAN ID (PVID). The PVID will be applied to the frames which are untagged or tagged with priority ( vid = 0 ). This property indicates the PVID of the Ethernet port.

uint32 MaxDataSize

The maximum size of the INFO (non-MAC) field that will be received or transmitted.

uint16[] EnabledCapabilities

Specifies which capabilities are enabled from the list of all supported ones, which are defined in the Capabilities array. For details on each capability, see the description of each capability in the description of property Capabilities.

string[] NetworkAddresses

Ethernet/802.3 MAC addresses formatted as twelve hexadecimal digits (for example, “010203040506”), with each pair representing one of the six octets of the MAC address in “canonical” bit order. (Therefore, the Group address bit is found in the low order bit of the first character of the string.)

string[] CapabilityDescriptions

An array of free-form strings that provides more detailed explanations for any of the EthernetPort features that are indicated in the Capabilities array. Note, each entry of this array is related to the entry in the Capabilities array that is located at the same index.

string[] PortDiscriminator

A string array used to discriminate the supported context of this EthernetPort. The following strings are currently defined:

‘SNIA:None’ - indicates this EthernetPort does not provide support for any specific function.

‘SNIA:iSCSI’ - indicates this EthernetPort provides support for iSCSI.

‘SNIA:FCoE’ - indicates that this EthernetPort provides support for FC over Ethernet - FCoE.

uint16 PortType

The specific mode that is currently enabled for the Port. When set to 1 (“Other”), the related property OtherPortType contains a string description of the type of port.
