Msvm_VLANEndpoint class

  • Article

Represents the VLAN endpoint of a switch port. The configuration of this endpoint will change the way the switch port sends VLAN packets through the switch.

The following syntax is simplified Managed Object Format (MOF) code, and it includes all of the inherited properties.

Properties

The Msvm_VLANEndpoint class has these properties.

BroadcastResetSupported

Data type: boolean

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Experimental, MappingStrings ("FC-SWAPI.INCITS-T11|SWAPI_PORT_CONFIG_CAPS_T.PortForceLipSupported"), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_ProtocolEndpoint.BroadcastReset")

Indicates whether the instrumentation supports the BroadcastReset method. This property is inherited from CIM_ProtocolEndpoint and is always set to False.

Caption

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (64)

A short textual description (one line string) of the object. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.

CreationClassName

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Key, MaxLen (256)

The name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an instance. This property is inherited from CIM_ServiceAccessPoint and is always set to "Msvm_VLANEndpoint".

Description

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("MIB.IETF|IF-MIB.ifDescr")

A textual description of the object. This property is inherited from CIM_ProtocolEndpoint.

DesiredEndpointMode

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read/write

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_VLANEndpoint.OperationalEndpointMode", "CIM_VLANEndpoint.OtherEndpointMode")

The desired VLAN mode that is requested for use. (Note that the current mode is given by the OperationalEndpointMode property.) This property is inherited from CIM_VLANEndpoint.

The possible values are:

DMTF Reserved (0)

Other (1)

Access (2)

The endpoint is in permanent non-trunking mode and negotiates to convert the link into a non-trunk link. The endpoint becomes a non-trunk interface.

Dynamic Auto (3)

The endpoint can convert the link to a trunk link. The endpoint becomes a trunk interface if the neighboring interface is set to trunk or desirable mode.

Dynamic Desirable (4)

The endpoint actively attempts to convert the link to a trunk link. In addition, the endpoint becomes a trunk interface if the neighboring interface is set to trunk, desirable, or auto mode. The default switch-port mode for all ethernet interfaces is dynamic desirable.

Trunk (5)

The endpoint is in permanent trunking mode and negotiates to convert the link into a trunk link. The endpoint becomes a trunk interface even if the neighboring interface is not a trunk interface.

Dot1Q Tunnel (6)

Configures the interface as a tunnel (non-trunking) endpoint to be connected in an asymmetric link with an 802.1Q trunk port. 802.1Q tunneling is used to maintain customer VLAN integrity across a service provider network.

Vendor Reserved

DesiredVLANTrunkEncapsulation

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read/write

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_VLANEndpointCapabilities.SupportsTrunkEncapsulationNegotiation", "CIM_VLANEndpoint.OperationalVLANTrunkEncapsulation", "CIM_VLANEndpoint.OtherTrunkEncapsulation")

The type of VLAN encapsulation that is requested for use. (Note that the encapsulation currently in use is given by the OperationalVLANTrunkEncapsulation property.) Note that this property is only applicable when the endpoint is operating in a trunking mode (see the OperationalEndpointMode property for additional details). This property is either 2 (Not Applicable) (that is, the endpoint will never be placed in a trunking mode), a particular type (802.1Q or Cisco ISL), or 5 (Negotiate) (that is, the result of the negotiation between this interface and its neighbor). The value, 5 (Negotiate) is not allowed if the endpoint does not support negotiation. This capability is hardware and vendor dependent. Refer to the associated CIM_VLANEndpointCapabilities.doesTrunkEncapsulationNegotiation property to validate whether a particular endpoint (port) supports encapsulation negotiation. This property is inherited from CIM_VLANEndpoint.
