The following DMTF collaboration structure diagram show all class adaptations defined in this profile, and all profiles referenced by this profile.

Description of the diagram ...

Implementing this feature provides support for client management of the state of a network port by means of the RequestStateChange( ) method.

Adaptation type: Ordinary class

Implementation type: Instantiated

Requirement level: Mandatory

This adaptation models the version of this profile that was implemented.

inv: self.RegisteredName = 'MRP Template'

inv: self.RegisteredOrganization = 2 /* DMTF */

inv: self.RegisteredVersion = '1.0.0'

This adaptation models systems hosting network ports .

Adaptation type: Ordinary class

Implementation type: Instantiated

Requirement level: Mandatory

Adaptation type: Association class

Implementation type: Instantiated

Requirement level: Mandatory

This adaptation models the relationship between netwpork ports that are represented by NetworkPort instances and the systems hosting these network ports that are represented by ComputerSystem instances.

Adaptation type: Ordinary class

Implementation type: Instantiated

Requirement level: Mandatory

This adaptation models network ports .

Only if the NetworkPortStateManagement feature is implemented for an instance of this adaptation, this method shall be implemented and shall not return a value of 1 (Not Supported).

Successful execution of this method on an instance of this adaptation shall change the instance's state to the value specified in the RequestedState parameter.

Invoking this method multiple times may result in earlier requests being overwritten or lost.
