DCIM_IPProtocolEndpoint
Property Description
AddressOrigin
Identifies the method by which the IP Address,
Subnet Mask, and Gateway were assigned to the
IPProtocolEndpoint.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = Not Applicable
• 3 = Static — Indicates the values were assigned
manually.
• 4 = DHCP — Indicates the values were assigned
utilizing the Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol. See RFC 2131 and related.
• 5 = BOOTP — Indicates the values were
assigned utilizing BOOTP. See RFC 951 and
related.
• 6 = IPv4 Link Local — Indicates the values were
assigned using the IPv4 Link Local protocol.
See RFC 3927.
• 7 = DHCPv6 — Indicates the values were
assigned using DHCPv6. See RFC 3315.
• 8 = IPv6AutoConfig — Indicates the values
were assigned using the IPv6 AutoConfig
Protocol. See RFC 4862.
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
CreationClassName
Indicates the name of the class or the subclass
used in the creation of an instance. When used
with the other key properties of this class, this
property allows all instances of this class and its
subclasses to be uniquely identified.
ElementName
A user-friendly name for the object. This property
allows each instance to define a user-friendly
name in addition to its key properties, identity data,
and description information.
NOTE: The Name property of
ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a
user-friendly name. But, it is often sub-classed
to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same
property can convey both identity and a user-
friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where
Name exists and is not a Key (such as for
instances of LogicalDevice), the same
information can be present in both the Name
and ElementName properties.
