Msvm_EthernetPortData class

An abstract class that represents port runtime data collected by an Ethernet switch extension. All Ethernet port data classes must derive from this abstract class.

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