CIM_EthernetPort class
Capabilities and management of an ethernet port.
Important The DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force) CIM (Common Information Model) classes are the parent classes upon which WMI classes are built. WMI currently supports only the CIM 2.x version schemas.
The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all inherited properties.

Members
The CIM_EthernetPort class has these types of members:
- Properties
Properties
The CIM_EthernetPort class has these properties.
ActiveMaximumTransmissionUnit
Data type: uint64
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: Units ( "Bytes" )
The active or negotiated maximum transmission unit (MTU) that can be supported.
AutoSense
Data type: boolean
Access type: Read-only
A Boolean that indicates whether the network port is capable of automatically determining the speed or other communications characteristics of the attached network media.
Capabilities
Data type: uint16 array
Access type: Read-only
Capabilities of the ethernet port. For example, the device might support AlertOnLan, WakeOnLan, Load Balancing, or FailOver. If failover or load balancing capabilities are listed, a SpareGroup (failover) or ExtraCapacityGroup (load balancing) should also be defined to completely describe the capability.
Unknown (0)
Other (1)
AlertOnLan (2)
WakeOnLan (3)
FailOver (4)
LoadBalancing (5)
CapabilityDescriptions
Data type: string array
Access type: Read-only
An array of free-form strings that provides more detailed explanations for any of the ethernet port features that are indicated in the Capabilities array. Be aware that each entry of this array is related to the entry in the Capabilities array that is located at the same index.
EnabledCapabilities
Data type: uint16 array
Access type: Read-only
Specifies which capabilities are enabled from the list of those supported, which are defined in the Capabilities array.
Unknown (0)
Other (1)
AlertOnLan (2)
WakeOnLan (3)
FailOver (4)
LoadBalancing (5)
FullDuplex
Data type: boolean
Access type: Read-only
Boolean that indicates that the port is operating in full duplex mode.
LinkTechnology
Data type: uint16
Access type: Read-only
An enumeration of the types of links. When set to 1 ("Other"), the related property OtherLinkTechnology contains a string description of the type of link.

IB (3)
FC (4)
FDDI (5)
ATM (6)
Token Ring (7)
Frame Relay (8)
Infrared (9)
BlueTooth (10)
Wireless LAN (11)
MaxDataSize
Data type: uint32
Access type: Read-only
The maximum size of the INFO (non-MAC) field that will be received or transmitted.
NetworkAddresses
Data type: string array
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: MaxLen ( 64)
An array of strings that indicate the network addresses for the port.
The network addresses are ethernet/802.3 MAC addresses formatted as twelve hexadecimal digits (for example, "010203040506"), with each pair representing one of the six octets of the MAC address in "canonical" bit order. (Therefore, the Group address bit is found in the low order bit of the first character of the string.)
OtherEnabledCapabilities
Data type: string array
Access type: Read-only
An array of free-form strings that provides more detailed explanations for any of the enabled capabilities that are specified as 'Other'.
OtherLinkTechnology
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
A string value that describes LinkTechnology when it is set to 1, "Other".
OtherNetworkPortType
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Note: The use of this property is deprecated in lieu of CIM_LogicalPort.PortType. Deprecated description: The type of module, when PortType is set to 1 ("Other".)
PermanentAddress
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: MaxLen ( 64)
The network address that is hardcoded into a port. This hardcoded address can be changed using a firmware upgrade or a software configuration. When this change is made, the field should be updated at the same time. PermanentAddress should be left blank if no hardcoded address exists for the network adapter.
PortNumber
Data type: uint16
Access type: Read-only
Network ports are often numbered relative to either a logical module or a network element.
PortType
Data type: uint16
Access type: Read-only
The specific mode that is currently enabled for the port. When set to 1 ("Other"), the related property OtherPortType contains a string description of the type of port.

Speed
Data type: uint64
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: Override, Units ( "Bits per Second" )
The current bandwidth of the port in bits per second. For ports that vary in bandwidth or for those where no accurate estimation can be made, this property should contain the nominal bandwidth.
SupportedMaximumTransmissionUnit
Data type: uint64
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: Units ( "Bytes" )
The maximum transmission unit (MTU) that can be supported.
