# Class CIM_NetworkAdapter
extends CIM_LogicalDevice

Note: The use of the CIM_NetworkAdpater class has been deprecated in lieu of CIM_NetworkPort. CIM_NetworkPort better reflects that the hardware of a single port is described and managed. Deprecated description: NetworkAdapter is an Abstract class that defines general networking hardware concepts (for example, PermanentAddress or Speed of operation).

## Class Properties

### Local Class Properties

Name | Data Type | Default Value | Qualifiers
--- | --- | --- | ---
Name | Data Type | Value
AutoSense | boolean |
Deprecated | string | CIM_NetworkPort.AutoSense
Description | string | Note: The use of this method has been deprecated. Deprecated description: A Boolean that indicates whether the NetworkAdapter is capable of automatically determining the speed or other communications characteristics of the attached network media.
FullDuplex | boolean |
Deprecated | string | CIM_NetworkPort.FullDuplex
Description | string | Note: The use of this method has been deprecated. Deprecated description: A Boolean that indicates that the Adapter is operating in full duplex mode.
MaxSpeed | uint64 |
Deprecated | string | CIM_NetworkPort.MaxSpeed
Description | string | Note: The use of this method has been deprecated. Deprecated description: The maximum speed, in Bits per Second, for the Network Adapter.
PUnit | string | bit / second
Units | string | Bits per Second
OctetsReceived | uint64 |
Counter | boolean | true
Deprecated | string | CIM_NetworkPortStatistics.BytesReceived
Description | string | Note: The use of OctetsReceived is deprecated. The replacement is CIM_NetworkPortStatistics.BytesReceived.

OctetsTransmitted | uint64 |
Counter | boolean | true
Deprecated | string | CIM_NetworkPortStatistics.BytesTransmitted
Description | string | Note: The use of this method has been deprecated. The replacement is CIM_NetworkPortStatistics.BytesTransmitted.
MappingStrings | string | MIB.IETF|RFC1213-MIB.ifOutOctets, MIF.DMTF|Network Adapter 802 Port|001.7
PermanentAddress | string |
Deprecated | string | CIM_NetworkPort.PermanentAddress
Description | string | Note: The use of this method has been deprecated. Deprecated description: PermanentAddress defines the network address that is hardcoded into an adapter. This 'hardcoded' address might be changed through a firmware upgrade or software configuration. If so, this field should be updated when the change is made. PermanentAddress should be left blank if no 'hardcoded' address exists for the NetworkAdapter.

MaxLen | uint32 | 64
Speed | uint64 |
Deprecated | string | CIM_NetworkPort.Speed
Description | string | Note: The use of this method has been deprecated. Deprecated description: An estimate of the current bandwidth in Bits per Second. For Adapters 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|RFC1213-MIB.ifSpeed, MIF.DMTF|Network Adapter 802 Port|001.5
PUnit | string | bit / second
Units | string | Bits per Second
NetworkAddresses | string[] |
ArrayType | string | Indexed
Deprecated | string | CIM_NetworkPort.NetworkAddresses
Description | string | Note: The use of this method has been deprecated. Deprecated description: An array of strings that indicates the network addresses for an adapter.
