Class CIM_NetworkPacketAction
extends CIM_PolicyAction

NetworkPacketAction standardizes different processing options that can be taken at the network packet level. The specific action is defined in the PacketAction enumerated property. Note that this property can be used in conjunction with other actions aggregated into a Rule, to fully define its effects. For example, when aggregated with the SAStaticAction class, NetworkPacketAction indicates whether a specific packet will be encrypted, bypassed or discarded for the lifetime of the Security Association.

DescriptionstringA user-friendly name of this policy-related object.None TRANSLATABLE= true
CreationClassNamestring
DescriptionstringCreationClassName 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.None TRANSLATABLE= true

MaxLenuint32256None None
Descriptionstring
DescriptionstringThe Description property provides a textual description of the object.None TRANSLATABLE= true
DoActionLoggingboolean
DescriptionstringDoActionLogging causes a log message to be generated when the action is performed.None TRANSLATABLE= true
ElementNamestring
DescriptionstringA 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. Note that ManagedSystemElement's Name property is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the same information MAY be present in both the Name and ElementName properties.None TRANSLATABLE= true
OtherActionstring
DescriptionstringDescription of the action when the value 1 ("Other") is specified for the property, PacketAction.None TRANSLATABLE= true

PacketActionuint16
DescriptionstringA network packet can be processed, bypassed for processing (i.e., allowed to continue without further processing, such as being forwarded in the clear versus being encrypted), or discarded. This enumeration indicates how a packet should be handled if a PolicyRule's PolicyConditions evaluate to TRUE.None TRANSLATABLE= true

PolicyRuleCreationClassNamestring
DescriptionstringFor a rule-specific PolicyAction, the CreationClassName of the PolicyRule object with which this Action is associated. For a reusable PolicyAction, a special value, 'NO RULE', should be used to indicate that this Action is reusable and not associated with a single PolicyRule.None TRANSLATABLE= true

PolicyRuleNamestring
DescriptionstringFor a rule-specific PolicyAction, the name of the PolicyRule object with which this Action is associated. For a reusable PolicyAction, a special value, 'NO RULE', should be used to indicate that this Action is reusable and not associated with a single PolicyRule.None TRANSLATABLE= true

SystemCreationClassNamestring
DescriptionstringThe name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of the System object in whose scope this PolicyAction is defined. This property helps to identify the System object in whose scope this instance of PolicyAction exists. For a rule-specific PolicyAction, this is the System in whose context the PolicyRule is defined. For a reusable PolicyAction, this is the instance of PolicyRepository (which is a subclass of System) that holds the Action. Note that this property, and the analogous property SystemName, do not represent propagated keys from an instance of the class System. Instead, they are properties defined in the context of this class, which repeat the values from the instance of System to which this PolicyAction is related, either directly via the PolicyActionInPolicyRepository association or indirectly via the PolicyActionInPolicyRule aggregation.None TRANSLATABLE= true
KeybooleantrueNone OVERRIDABLE= false
MaxLenuint32256None None
SystemNamestring
DescriptionstringThe name of the System object in whose scope this PolicyAction is defined. This property completes the identification of the System object in whose scope this instance of PolicyAction exists. For a rule-specific PolicyAction, this is the System in whose context the PolicyRule is defined. For a reusable PolicyAction, this is the instance of PolicyRepository (which is a subclass of System) that holds the Action.None TRANSLATABLE= true

PolicyKeywordsstring[]
DescriptionstringAn array of keywords for characterizing / categorizing policy objects. Keywords are of one of two types: - Keywords defined in this and other MOFs, or in DMTF white papers. These keywords provide a vendor- independent, installation-independent way of characterizing policy objects. - Installation-dependent keywords for characterizing policy objects. Examples include 'Engineering', 'Billing', and 'Review in December 2000'. This MOF defines the following keywords: 'UNKNOWN', 'CONFIGURATION', 'USAGE', 'SECURITY', 'SERVICE', 'MOTIVATIONAL', 'INSTALLATION', and 'EVENT'. These concepts are self-explanatory and are further discussed in the SLA/Policy White Paper. One additional keyword is defined: 'POLICY'. The role of this keyword is to identify policy-related instances that may not be otherwise identifiable, in some implementations. The keyword 'POLICY' is NOT mutually exclusive of the other keywords specified above.None TRANSLATABLE= true
