Dell Command | Monitor Version 9.1 Reference Guide

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

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.

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.

An enumerated value indicating an administrator's default or startup configuration for the Enabled State of an element.

Possible values are:

• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 5 = Not Applicable
• 6 = Enabled but Offline
• 7 = No Default
• 9 = Quiesce
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved

By default, the element is Enabled (value = 2) .

An integer enumeration that indicates the enabled and disabled states of an element. It can also indicate the transitions between these requested states.

Possible values are:

• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = Enabled — Indicates that the element is or could be executing commands, will process any queued commands, and queues new requests.
• 3 = Disabled — Indicates that the element will not execute commands and will drop any new requests.
• 4 = Shutting Down — Indicates that the element is in the process of going to a Disabled state.
• 5 = Not Applicable — Indicates the element does not support being enabled or disabled.
• 6 = Enabled but Offline — Indicates that the element may be completing commands, and drop any new requests.
• 7 = In Test — Indicates that the element is in a test state.
• 8 = Deferred — Indicates that the element may be completing commands, but will queue any new requests.
• 9 = Quiesce — Indicates that the element is enabled but in a restricted mode.
• 10 = Starting — Indicates that the element is in the process of going to an Enabled state. New requests are queued.
• 11..32767 = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved

For example, shutting down (value = 4) and starting (value = 10) are transient states between enabled and disabled.

The IPv4 address that this ProtocolEndpoint represents.

The IPv6 address that this ProtocolEndpoint represents.

Identifies the type of address found in the IPv6Address property. The values of this property are interpreted according to RFC4291, Section 2.4

Possible values are:

• 2 = Unspecified
• 3 = Loopback
• 4 = Multicast
• 5 = Link Local Unicast
• 6 = Global Unicast
• 7 = Embedded IPv4 Address
• 8 = Site Local Unicast
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved

Identifies the prefix length of the IPv6Address property that is used to specify a subnet

This property explicitly defines support for different versions of the IP protocol, for this Endpoint. It is deprecated since the ProtocolIFType also provides this functionality by describing an endpoint as IPv4 only (value = 4096), IPv6 only (value = 4097), or IPv4/v6 (value = 4098).

Possible values are:

• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = IPv4 Only
• 2 = IPv6 Only
• 3 = Both IPv4 and IPv6

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.

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'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

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
• 14 = Ethernet
• 15 = TokenRing
• 16 = FDDI
• 17 = Infiniband
• 18 = Fibre Channel
• 19 = ISDN BRI Endpoint
• 20 = ISDN B Channel Endpoint
• 21 = ISDN D Channel Endpoint
• 22 = IPv4/v6
• 23 = BGP
• 24 = OSPF
• 25 = MPLS
• 26 = UDP
• 27 = TCP

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.

Possible values are:

• 0 = Unknown — Indicates the last requested state for the element is unknown.
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change
• 6 = Offline — Indicates that the element has been requested to transition to the Enabled but Offline EnabledState.
• 7 = Test
• 8 = Deferred
• 9 = Quiesce
• 10 = Reboot — Refers to performing a Shut Down and then moving to an Enabled state.
• 11 = Reset — Indicates that the element is first Disabled and then Enabled.
• 12 = Not Applicable
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved

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 of the last RequestedState is not supported for the EnabledLogicalElement, the property is NULL or have the value 12 Not Applicable.

A string indicating the current status of the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses are defined. This property is deprecated instead of OperationalStatus, which includes the same semantics in its enumeration. This change is made for the following reasons:

• Status is more correctly defined as an array. This definition overcomes the limitation of describing status using a single value, when it is really a multi-valued property (for example, an element may be OK AND Stopped.
• A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values.
• The change to a uint16 data type was discussed when CIM V2.0 was defined. However, existing V1.0 implementations used the string property and did not want to modify their code. Therefore, Status was grandfathered into the Schema. Use of the deprecated qualifier allows the maintenance of the existing property, but also permits an improved definition using OperationalStatus.

Possible values are:

• OK
• Error
• Degraded
• Unknown
• Pred Fail
• Starting
• Stopping
• Service
• Stressed
• NonRecover
• No Contact
• Lost
• Comm
• Stopped

The mask for the IPv4 address of this ProtocolEndpoint, if one is defined.

The creation class name of the scoping System.

The Name of the scoping System.

Indicates the target state to which the instance is transitioning.

Possible values are:

• 0 = Unknown
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 4 = Shut Down
• 5 = No Change — Indicates that no transition is in progress.
• 6 = Offline
• 7 = Test
• 8 = Defer
• 9 = Quiesce
• 10 = Reboot
• 11 = Reset
• 12 = Not Applicable — Indicates that the implementation does not support representing ongoing transitions.

A value other than 5 or 12 identifies the state to which the element is in the process of transitioning.
