Name
A string that identifies this ProtocolEndpoint with either a port or an interface
on a device. To ensure uniqueness, the Name property should be prepended
or appended with information from the Type or OtherTypeDescription
properties. The method selected is described in the NameFormat property of
this class.
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.
OtherTypeDescription
A string that describes the type of ProtocolEndpoint when the Type property
of this class (or any of its subclasses) is set to 1 (Other). This property should
be set to null when the Type property is any value other than 1.
ProtocolIFType
An enumeration that is synchronized with the IANA ifType MIB. The ifType
MIB is maintained at the URL, iana.org/assignments/ianaiftype-mib. Also,
additional values defined by the DMTF are included. The property is used to
categorize and classify instances of the ProtocolEndpoint class.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = Regular 1822
• 3 = HDH 1822
• 4 = DDN X.25
• 5 = RFC877 X.25
