CIM_BGPPathAttributes Superclass: CIM_LogicalElement
This class defines the per-path information used to process specific BGP attribute information, as defined in the bgp4PathAttrTable of RFC 1657.
Qualifiers:Version ( "2.7.0" )
Parameters (local in grey)
OctetString
MappingStrings { "MIB.IETF|BGP4-MIB.bgp4PathAttrASPathSegment" }
uint8 PathAttrASPathSegment [ ] ;
This property and its description are taken directly from RFC 1657. The property represents a sequence of AS path segments. Each AS path segment is represented by the tuple:
<type, length, value>
The type is a 1-octet field which has two possible values:
1 = AS_SET
2 = AS_SEQUENCE
An AS_SET is an unordered set of ASs representing the path that an UPDATE message has traversed, and an AS_SEQUENCE is an ordered set of ASs representing the path that an UPDATE message has traversed.
The length is a 1-octet field containing the number of ASs in the value field.
The value field contains one or more AS numbers, each AS is represented in the octet string as a pair of octets according to the following algorithm:
first-byte-of-pair = ASNumber / 256;
second-byte-of-pair = ASNumber & 255;
This property is mapped from the bgp4PathAttrASPathSegment MIB variable, which is an OctetString. Its length is defined as a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 255 octets.
MappingStrings { "MIB.IETF|BGP4-MIB.bgp4PathAttrAggregatorAddr" }
string PathAttrAggregatorAddr ;
This is the IP address of the last BGP speaker that performed route aggregation. A value of 0.0.0.0 indicates the absence of this attribute.
MappingStrings { "MIB.IETF|BGP4-MIB.bgp4PathAttrLocalPref" }
sint32 PathAttrLocalPref ;
This is the originating BGP4 speaker's degree of preference for an advertised route. A value of -1 indicates the absence of this attribute. The range of this attribute is defined to be -1 to 2147483647.
OctetString
MappingStrings { "MIB.IETF|BGP4-MIB.bgp4PathAttrUnknown" }
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_BGPPathAttributes.PathAttrUnknownNumber" }
string PathAttrUnknown [ ] ;
This contains one or more path atributes not understood by this BGP speaker. It is a array of path attributes that are not understood. The number of attributes is placed in a separate property of this class, PathAttrUnknownNumber.
MappingStrings { "MIB.IETF|BGP4-MIB.bgp4PathAttrCalcLocalPref" }
sint16 PathAttrCalcLocalPref ;
This is the degree of preference calculated by the receiving BGP speaker for an advertised route. A value of -1 indicates the absence of this attribute. The range of this attribute is defined to be -1 to 2147483647.
ValueMap { "0" , "1" , "2" }
Values { "Unknown" , "Less Specific Not Selected" , "Less Specific Selected" }
MappingStrings { "MIB.IETF|BGP4-MIB.bgp4PathAttrAtomicAggregate" }
uint32 PathAttrAtomicAggregate ;
This is an enumeration that defines whether or not the local system has selected a less specific route without selecting a more specific route. There are two values, 1 and 2, indicating that a less specific route has not and has been selected, respectively. This is a 32-bit integer to correspond to the IETF MIB.
MappingStrings { "MIB.IETF|BGP4-MIB.bgp4PathAttrUnknown" }

uint16 PathAttrUnknownNumber ;
The number of unknown attributes in the array, PathAttrUnknown.
MappingStrings { "MIB.IETF|BGP4-MIB.bgp4PathAttrAggregatorAS" }
uint16 PathAttrAggregatorAS ;
This is the AS number of the last BGP speaker that performed route aggregation. A value of 0 indicates the absence of this attribute. The range of this attribute is defined to be 0 to 65535.
ValueMap { "0" , "1" , "2" }
Values { "Unknown" , "False" , "True" }
MappingStrings { "MIB.IETF|BGP4-MIB.bgp4PathAttrBest" }
uint16 PathAttrBest ;
This is an indication of whether or not this route was chosen as the best BGP route. There are three possible values, 0 (Unknown), 1 (FALSE) and 2 (TRUE).

MaxLen ( 512 )
Key
string ASNumbers ;
A comma-separated list of AS numbers, as would be stored in the value portion of the path segment in the PathAttrASPathSegment property. This list can be ordered or unordered.
ValueMap { "1" , "2" , "3" }
Values { "IGP" , "EGP" , "Incomplete" }
MappingStrings { "MIB.IETF|BGP4-MIB.bgp4PathAttrOrigin" }
uint16 PathAttrOrigin ;
This is an enumeration that defines the ultimate origin of the path information. The value 'IGP' means that the origin is interior; the value 'EGP' means that it was learned via an EGP; the value 'INCOMPLETE' means that the origin is undetermined.
ValueMap { "0" , "1" , "2" , "3" , "4" , "5" , "6" , "7" , "8" , "9" , "10" , "11" , "12" , "13" , "14" , "15" , "16" , "17" , "18" , ".." , "0x8000.." }

Values { "Unknown" , "Other" , "OK" , "Degraded" , "Stressed" , "Predictive Failure" , "Error" , "Non-Recoverable Error" , "Starting" , "Stopping" , "Stopped" , "In Service" , "No Contact" , "Lost Communication" , "Aborted" , "Dormant" , "Supporting Entity in Error" , "Completed" , "Power Mode" , "DMTF Reserved" , "Vendor Reserved" }
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_ManagedSystemElement.StatusDescriptions" }
uint16 OperationalStatus [ ] ;
Indicates the current statuses of the element. Various operational statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration's values are self-explanatory. However, a few are not and are described here in more detail.
'Stressed' indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of 'Stressed' states are overload, overheated, and so on.
'Predictive Failure' indicates that an element is functioning nominally but predicting a failure in the near future.
'In Service' describes an element being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered.
'No Contact' indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications with it.
'Lost Communication' indicates that the ManagedSystem Element is known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable.
'Stopped' and 'Aborted' are similar, although the former implies a clean and orderly stop, while the latter implies an abrupt stop where the state and configuration of the element might need to be updated.
'Dormant' indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced.
'Supporting Entity in Error' indicates that this element might be 'OK' but that another element, on which it is dependent, is in error. An example is a network service or endpoint that cannot function due to lower-layer networking problems.
'Completed' indicates that the element has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can tell if the complete operation Completed with OK (passed), Completed with Error (failed), or Completed with Degraded (the operation finished, but it did not complete OK or did not report an error).
'Power Mode' indicates that the element has additional power model information contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association.
OperationalStatus replaces the Status property on ManagedSystemElement to provide a consistent approach to enumerations, to address implementation needs for an array property, and to provide a migration path from today's environment to the future. This change was not made earlier because it required the deprecated qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, it is strongly recommended that providers or instrumentation provide both the Status and OperationalStatus properties. Further, the first value of OperationalStatus should contain the primary status for the element. When instrumented, Status (because it is single-valued) should also provide the primary status of the element.
ArrayType ( "Indexed" )
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus" }
string StatusDescriptions [ ] ;
Strings describing the various OperationalStatus array values. For example, if 'Stopping' is the value assigned to OperationalStatus, then this property may contain an explanation as to why an object is being stopped. Note that entries in this array are correlated with those at the same array index in OperationalStatus.

MaxLen ( 10 )
Deprecated { "CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus" }
string Status ;
A string indicating the current status of the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses are defined. This property is deprecated in lieu of OperationalStatus, which includes the same semantics in its enumeration. This change is made for 3 reasons:
1) Status is more correctly defined as an array. This definition overcomes the limitation of describing status using a single value, when it is really a multi-valued property (for example, an element might be OK AND Stopped.
2) A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values.
3) The change to a uint16 data type was discussed when CIM V2.0 was defined. However, existing V1.0 implementations used the string property and did not want to modify their code. Therefore, Status was grandfathered into the Schema. Use of the deprecated qualifier allows the maintenance of the existing property, but also permits an improved definition using OperationalStatus.
MappingStrings { "MIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.5" }
datetime InstallDate ;
A datetime value that indicates when the object was installed. Lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed.
MaxLen ( 1024 )
string Name ;
The Name property defines the label by which the object is known. When subclassed, the Name property can be overridden to be a Key property.
ValueMap { "0" , "5" , "10" , "15" , "20" , "25" , "30" , ".." }
Values { "Unknown" , "OK" , "Degraded/Warning" , "Minor failure" , "Major failure" , "Critical failure" , "Non-recoverable error" , "DMTF Reserved" }
uint16 HealthState ;
Indicates the current health of the element. This attribute expresses the health of this element but not necessarily that of its subcomponents. The possible values are 0 to 30, where 5 means the element is entirely healthy and 30 means the element is completely non-functional. The following continuum is defined:
'Non-recoverable Error' (30) - The element has completely failed, and recovery is not possible. All functionality provided by this element has been lost.
'Critical Failure' (25) - The element is non-functional and recovery might not be possible.
'Major Failure' (20) - The element is failing. It is possible that some or all of the functionality of this component is degraded or not working.
'Minor Failure' (15) - All functionality is available but some might be degraded.
'Degraded/Warning' (10) - The element is in working order and all functionality is provided. However, the element is not working to the best of its abilities. For example, the element might not be operating at optimal performance or it might be reporting recoverable errors.
'OK' (5) - The element is fully functional and is operating within normal operational parameters and without error.
'Unknown' (0) - The implementation cannot report on HealthState at this time.
DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in the future.
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.
