CIM_LogicalNetwork Superclass: CIM_CollectionOfMSEs
A LogicalNetwork groups together a set of ProtocolEndpoints of a given type which are able to communicate with each other directly. It is used for describing the characteristics of the grouping and/or its associated medium. A LogicalNetwork represents the ability to send and/or receive data over a network.

This class is deprecated in lieu of ConnectivityCollection. The latter better defines that a LogicalNetwork 'collects' ProtocolEndpoints and other related entities, and is hosted within an AdminDomain.

Deprecated { "No value" }
string OtherTypeDescription ;
A string describing the type of protocol that is being run by this LogicalNetwork, when the value of the Type property (or any of its subclasses) is set to 1 (i.e., 'Other'). This property should be set to NULL when the Type property is any value other than 1.

uint16 NetworkType ;
Type is an enumeration that provides additional information that can be used to help categorize and classify different instances of this class.

Subclasses should ensure that they are of the appropriate type defined in the Type enumeration. That is, the IPSubnet subclass should define its property as either IPv4 or IPv6, as opposed to, for example, ATM.

string SystemCreationClassName ;
The scoping AdminDomain's CreationClassName.

Deprecated { "CIM_ConnectivityCollection.InstanceID" }

The Name property defines the label by which the object is known.

Key
Deprecated { "No value" }
string CreationClassName ;
CreationClassName 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.
MaxLen ( 256 )
string CollectionID ;
The identification of the Collection object. When subclassed, the CollectionID property can be overridden to be a Key property.
string ElementName ;
A 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 the Name property of ManagedSystemElement 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 can be present in both the Name and ElementName properties.
MaxLen ( 64 )
string Caption ;
The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.
string Description ;
The Description property provides a textual description of the object.
