CIM_WiFiEndpoint class

  • Article

Represents a wireless communication endpoint, which can send and receive data frames when its associated interface device is connected with an IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN.

Properties

The CIM_WiFiEndpoint class has these properties.

AccessPointAddress

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

The MAC address of the access point that is associated with the Wi-Fi endpoint; otherwise, NULL.

Associated

Data type: boolean

Access type: Read-only

true if the WiFi endpoint is currently associated with an access point or client station; otherwise, false.

AuthenticationMethod

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("IEEE 802.11-2007 | 8"), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_WiFiEndpoint.EncryptionMethod", "CIM_WiFiEndpoint.IEEE8021xAuthenticationProtocol", "CIM_WiFiEndpoint.OtherAuthenticationMethod")

The authentication type used between the Wi-Fi endpoint and the network.

Qualifiers: Override ("LANID"), MappingStrings ("IEEE 802.11-2007 | 7.3.2.1")

The service set identifier (SSID) of the wireless LAN that is associated with the Wi-Fi endpoint; otherwise, NULL.

OtherAuthenticationMethod

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_WiFiEndpoint.AuthenticationMethod")

The authentication type used between the Wi-Fi endpoint and the network when AuthenticationMethod contains "1" (Other).

OtherEncryptionMethod

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_WiFiEndpoint.EncryptionMethod")

Describes the encryption type for the Wi-Fi endpoint when EncryptionMethod contains "1" (Other).

ProtocolIFType

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Override ("ProtocolIFType")

The category or classification of this instance. The possible values are limited to the Wi-Fi and reserved values from the DMTF and IANA ifType MIB.

If the ProtocolIFType is set to "1" (Other), then the type information should be provided in the OtherTypeDescription property.
