CIM_EthernetPort class

Capabilities and management of an ethernet port.

Important  The DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force) CIM (Common Information Model) classes are the parent classes upon which WMI classes are built. WMI currently supports only the CIM 2.x version schemas.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all inherited properties.

Members

The CIM_EthernetPort class has these types of members:

  • Properties

Properties

The CIM_EthernetPort class has these properties.

ActiveMaximumTransmissionUnit

Data type: uint64

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Units ( "Bytes" )

The active or negotiated maximum transmission unit (MTU) that can be supported.

AutoSense

Data type: boolean

Access type: Read-only

A Boolean that indicates whether the network port is capable of automatically determining the speed or other communications characteristics of the attached network media.

Capabilities

Data type: uint16 array

Access type: Read-only

Capabilities of the ethernet port. 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.

Unknown (0)

Other (1)

AlertOnLan (2)

WakeOnLan (3)

FailOver (4)

LoadBalancing (5)

CapabilityDescriptions

Data type: string array

Access type: Read-only

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

EnabledCapabilities

Data type: uint16 array

Access type: Read-only

Specifies which capabilities are enabled from the list of those supported, which are defined in the Capabilities array.

Unknown (0)

Other (1)

AlertOnLan (2)

WakeOnLan (3)

FailOver (4)

LoadBalancing (5)

FullDuplex

Data type: boolean

Access type: Read-only

Boolean that indicates that the port is operating in full duplex mode.

LinkTechnology

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

An enumeration of the types of links. When set to 1 ("Other"), the related property OtherLinkTechnology contains a string description of the type of link.

Unknown (0)

Other (1)

Ethernet (2)

IB (3)

FC (4)

FDDI (5)

ATM (6)

Token Ring (7)

Frame Relay (8)

Infrared (9)

BlueTooth (10)

Wireless LAN (11)

MaxDataSize

Data type: uint32

Access type: Read-only

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

NetworkAddresses

Data type: string array

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen ( 64)

An array of strings that indicate the network addresses for the port.

The network addresses are 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.)

OtherEnabledCapabilities

Data type: string array

Access type: Read-only

An array of free-form strings that provides more detailed explanations for any of the enabled capabilities that are specified as 'Other'.

OtherLinkTechnology

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

A string value that describes LinkTechnology when it is set to 1, "Other".

OtherNetworkPortType

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Note: The use of this property is deprecated in lieu of CIM_LogicalPort.PortType. Deprecated description: The type of module, when PortType is set to 1 ("Other".)

PermanentAddress

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen ( 64)

The network address that is hardcoded into a port. This hardcoded address can be changed using a firmware upgrade or a software configuration. When this change is made, the field should be updated at the same time. PermanentAddress should be left blank if no hardcoded address exists for the network adapter.

PortNumber

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Network ports are often numbered relative to either a logical module or a network element.

PortType

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

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.

Speed

Data type: uint64

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Override, Units ( "Bits per Second" )

The current bandwidth of the port in bits per second. For ports that vary in bandwidth or for those where no accurate estimation can be made, this property should contain the nominal bandwidth.

SupportedMaximumTransmissionUnit

Data type: uint64

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Units ( "Bytes" )

The maximum transmission unit (MTU) that can be supported.
