Property Description
NameFormat
Contains the naming heuristic that is selected to
ensure that the value of the Name property is
unique. For example, you may choose to prepend
the name of the port or interface with the Type of
ProtocolEndpoint (for example, IPv4) of this
instance followed by an underscore.
ProtocolIFType
ProtocolIFType's enumeration is limited to IP-
related and reserved values for this subclass of
ProtocolEndpoint.
Possible values are:
• 1 = Other
• 225..4095 = IANA
• Reserved 4096 = IPv4
• 4097 = IPv6
• 4098 = IPv4/v6
• 4301..32767 = DMTF Reserved
• 32768.. = Vendor Reserved
ProtocolType
This property is deprecated instead of the
ProtocolIFType enumeration. This deprecation was
done to have better alignment between the IF-MIB
of the IETF and this CIM class. Deprecated
description: ProtocolType is an enumeration that
provides information to categorize and classify
different instances of this class. For most instances,
information in this enumeration and the definition
of the subclass overlap. However, there are several
cases where a specific subclass of
ProtocolEndpoint is not required (for example,
there is no Fibre Channel subclass of
ProtocolEndpoint). Therefore, this property is
needed to define the type of Endpoint.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = IPv4
• 3 = IPv6
• 4 = IPX
• 5 = AppleTalk
• 6 = DECnet
• 7 = SNA
• 8 = CONP
• 9 = CLNP
• 10 = VINES
• 11 = XNS
• 12 = ATM
• 13 = Frame Relay
