BMC_NetworkPort represents a physical or virtual network interface card installed in a computer, including Ethernet interfaces for general purpose networking and Fibre Channel interfaces for connection to SAN storage. An Ethernet interface has one related BMC_LANEndpoint representing the MAC address details and may have any number of related BMC_IPEndpoint CIs representing the IP addresses bound to the interface. BMC_NetworkPort is related to a computer system by a BMC_HostedSystemComponents relationship. BMC_NetworkPort corresponds to the DMTF CIM_NetworkPort class.

Attributes Summary

Data type Name and description
decimal ActiveMaximumTransmissionUnit
Specifies the active or negotiated maximum transmission unit (MTU) that the port can support.
enumeration AutoSense
Specifies a Boolean value indicating whether the port can automatically determine the speed or other communications characteristics of the attached network media.
enumeration FullDuplex
Specifies a Boolean value indicating whether the port is operating in full duplex mode (carrying signals in both directions).
enumeration LinkTechnology
Specifies the link technology used by the network port.
decimal MaxSpeed
Specifies the maximum bandwidth of the port in bits per second.
character NetworkAddresses
NetworkAddresses is an historic artifact and is not used. Specifies the list of strings specifying the network addresses for the port.
character PermanentAddress
Specifies the network address hard-coded into the port. This address can be changed by firmware upgrade or software reconfiguration. For an Ethernet port, the value is the MAC address separated by colons (for example, 00:1C:B3:09:85:15).
character PhysicalDescription
Attribute that specifies the physical description of the port, for example, "slot3" or "port4."
enumeration PortType
Specifies the type of port.
decimal Speed
Specifies the current bandwidth of the port in bits per second. For ports that vary in bandwidth or for ports whose speed cannot be accurately estimated, Speed contains the nominal bandwidth.
decimal SupportedMaximumTransmissionUnit
Specifies the maximum transmission unit (MTU) that the port can support.
