16194 = Pointing Device
16195 = Keyboard
16196 = Processor

PrimaryStatus
Provides a high-level status value, intended to align with
Red-Yellow-Green type representation of status. It should be
used with DetailedStatus to provide high level and detailed
health status of the ManagedElement and its subcomponents.
Possible values are:
0 = UnknownIndicates that the implementation is in
general capable of returning this property, but is unable
to do so now.
1 = OKIndicates the ManagedElement is functioning
normally.
2 = DegradedIndicates the ManagedElement is
functioning below normal.
3 = ErrorIndicates the ManagedElement is in an Error
condition.
.. = DMTF Reserved
0x8000.. = Vendor Reserved
RequestedSpeed The requested bandwidth of the Port in Bits per Second. The
actual bandwidth is reported in LogicalPort.Speed.
RequestedState An integer enumeration that indicates the last requested or
desired state for the element, irrespective of the mechanism
through which it was requested. The actual state of the
element is represented by EnabledState. This property is
provided to compare the last requested and current enabled
or disabled states. When EnabledState is set to 5 (Not
Applicable), then this property has no meaning. Refer to
the EnabledState property description for explanations of the
values in the RequestedState enumeration.
NOTE: The value No Change (5)has been deprecated
instead of indicating the last requested state is Unknown
(0). If the last requested or desired state is unknown,
RequestedState should have the value Unknown (0), but
may have the value No Change (5). There are two new
values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of
EnabledState. These are Reboot (10) and Reset (11).
Shut Down requests an orderly transition to the Disabled
state, and may involve removing power, to completely
erase any existing state. The Disabled state requests an
immediate disabling of the element, such that it will not
execute or accept any commands or processing requests.
This property is set as the result of a method invocation
(such as Start or StopService on CIM_Service), or can be
overridden and defined as WRITEable in a subclass. The
method approach is considered superior to a WRITEable
property, because it allows an explicit invocation of the
operation and the return of a result code. If knowledge
