Direct Known Subclasses:
None.

The BMC_NetworkPort class stores information about interfaces that connect network drives to computer systems. Each instance of this class is related to the computer system by a BMC_HostedSystemComponents relationship. This class corresponds to the DMTF CIM_NetworkPort class.

Attribute Summary
decimalActiveMaximumTransmissionUnit
Active or negotiated maximum transmission unit (MTU) that the port can support.
selectionAutoSense
Boolean indicating whether the port can automatically determine the speed or other communications characteristics of the attached network media.
selectionFullDuplex
Boolean indicating whether the port is operating in full duplex mode (carrying signals in both directions).
integerLinkTechnology
Type of link connecting the network drive to the computer system. Values are Unknown (0), Other (1), Ethernet (2), IB (3), FC (4), FDDI (5), ATM (6), Token Ring (7), Frame Relay (8), Infrared (9), BlueTooth (10), and Wireless LAN (11). No default value.
decimalMaxSpeed
Maximum bandwidth of the port in bits per second.
characterPermanentAddress
Network address hard-coded into the port. This address can be changed by firmware upgrade or software reconfiguration. If it is changed, this field should be updated. If no hard-coded address exists for the network port, leave this attribute blank.
characterPhysicalDescription
Physical description of the port, for example, "slot3" or "port4."
characterPortType
Type of port. Values are Other (0, default), Unknown (1), Ethernet (2), FDDI (3), Token Ring (4), WAN (5), and Fibre Channel (6).
decimalSpeed
Current bandwidth of the port in bits per second. For ports that vary in bandwidth or for ports whose speed cannot be accurately estimated, this attribute should contain the nominal bandwidth.
decimalSupportedMaximumTransmissionUnit
Maximum transmission unit (MTU) that the port can support.
characterNetworkAddresses
List of strings specifying the network addresses for the port.
