Property Description
• 2 = IPv6 Only
• 3 = Both IPv4 and IPv6
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.
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
