## Class Properties

### Local Class Properties

Name | Data Type | Default Value | Qualifiers
--- | --- | --- | ---
Name | Data Type | Value
ActiveMaximumTransmissionUnit | uint64 |
Description | string | The active or negotiated maximum transmission unit (MTU) that can be supported.
PUnit | string | byte
Units | string | Bytes
AutoSense | boolean |
Description | string | A Boolean that indicates whether the NetworkPort is capable of automatically determining the speed or other communications characteristics of the attached network media.
FullDuplex | boolean |
Description | string | Boolean that indicates that the port is operating in full duplex mode.
LinkTechnology | uint16 |
Description | string | An enumeration of the types of links. When set to 1 ("Other"), the related property OtherLinkTechnology contains a string description of the type of link.
ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_NetworkPort.OtherLinkTechnology
ValueMap | string | 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
Values | string | Unknown, Other, Ethernet, IB, FC, FDDI, ATM, Token Ring, Frame Relay, Infrared, BlueTooth, Wireless LAN
OtherLinkTechnology | string |
Description | string | A string value that describes LinkTechnology when it is set to 1, "Other".
ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_NetworkPort.LinkTechnology
OtherNetworkPortType | string |
Deprecated | string | CIM_NetworkPort.OtherPortType
Description | string | Note: The use of this property is deprecated in lieu of CIM_LogicalPort.PortType. Deprecated description: The type of module, when PortType is set to 1 ("Other".)
ModelCorrespondence | string | CIM_LogicalPort.PortType
PermanentAddress | string |
Description | string | PermanentAddress defines the network address that is hardcoded into a port. This 'hardcoded' address can be changed using a firmware upgrade or a software configuration. When this change is made, the field should be updated at the same time. PermanentAddress should be left blank if no 'hardcoded' address exists for the NetworkAdapter.
MappingStrings | string | MIF.DMTF|Network Adapter 802 Port|001.2
MaxLen | uint32 | 64
PortNumber | uint16 |
Description | string | NetworkPorts are often numbered relative to either a logical module or a network element.
Speed | uint64 |
Description | string | The current bandwidth of the Port in Bits per Second. For ports that vary in bandwidth or for those where no accurate estimation can be made, this property should contain the nominal bandwidth.
MappingStrings | string | MIB.IETF|MIB-II.ifSpeed, MIF.DMTF|Network Adapter 802 Port|001.5
Override | string | Speed
PUnit | string | bit / second
Units | string | Bits per Second
SupportedMaximumTransmissionUnit | uint64 |
Description | string | The maximum transmission unit (MTU) that can be supported.
PUnit | string | byte
Units | string | Bytes
NetworkAddresses | string[] |
Description | string | An array of strings that indicates the network addresses for the port.
