CIM_ActiveConnection class

Defines a connection that is currently turned on and configured to provide communication between two CIM_ServiceAccessPoint objects. CIM_ActiveConnection is used when the connection is not treated as a CIM_ManagedElement object. Service access points that are connected by an active connection are typically at the same networking or application layer.

• Properties

Properties

The CIM_ActiveConnection class has these properties.

Antecedent

Data type: CIM_ServiceAccessPoint

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Override ("Antecedent")

The service access point that is connected to the other service access point through the active connection. CIM_ServiceAccessPoint object. In a unidirectional connection, this access point is the one that is transmitting data.

Dependent

Data type: CIM_ServiceAccessPoint

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Override ("Dependent")

The service access point that is configured to communicate or is actively communicating with the service access point specified in the Antecedent property. In a unidirectional connection, this access point is the one that is receiving data.

IsUnidirectional

Data type: boolean

Access type: Read-only

True if the connection is unidirectional; false if the connection is bidirectional. When the connection is unidirectional, the Antecedent property specifies the access point that is transmitting data. In a bidirectional connection, Antecedent can specify either access point assigned to the connection.

OtherTrafficDescription

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Deprecated ("No value"), MaxLen (64), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_ActiveConnection.TrafficType")

Note

This property is deprecated. Instead, we recommend that you specify this information in the addressing, protocol, and basic functionality of the endpoints.

A description of the traffic type that is specified when the TrafficType property is set to "1" (Other).

TrafficType

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Deprecated ("No value"), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_ActiveConnection.OtherTrafficDescription")

Note

This property is deprecated. Instead, we recommend that you specify this information in the addressing, protocol, and basic functionality of the endpoints.

The type of traffic that is transmitted over this connection.
