Class CIM_Network
extends CIM_AdminDomain

Network is a subclass of AdminDomain that groups interconnected networking and computing objects capable of exchanging information. Instances of CIM_Network can represent an enterprise's global network or specific connectivity domains within the global network. These concepts are similar to those defined for the Network object in ITU's M.3100 specification.

CreateNetworkPipes (uint32)

Method Qualifiers (CreateNetworkPipes)

Name	Data Type	Value
Description	string	This method creates one or more NetworkPipes each representing a connection between a pair of ServiceAccessPoints. If Success (0) is returned, the method completed successfully. A return value of Not Supported (1) indicates the method is not supported. All other values indicate some type of error condition.
Experimental	boolean	true
ValueMap	string	0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, .., 0x8000..0xFFFF
Values	string	Success, Not Supported, Unknown/Unspecified Error, Timeout, Failed, Invalid Parameter, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Specific

Method Parameters (CreateNetworkPipes)

Name	Type	Qualifiers
Name	Type	Name	Data Type	Value
Directionality	uint16[]
		ArrayType	string	Indexed
		Description	string	Directionality indicates whether the pipe is bi-directional (value = 2) or unidirectional (value = 3). For unidirectional pipes, the appropriate ServiceAccessPoint must be referenced for the source and sink.
		IN	boolean	true
		ModelCorrespondence	string	CIM_Network.CreateNetworkPipes.SourceSAP, CIM_Network.CreateNetworkPipes.SinkSAP, CIM_Network.CreateNetworkPipes.NetworkPipe
		ValueMap	string	2, 3
		Values	string	Bi-Directional, Unidirectional
NetworkPipe	CIM_NetworkPipe[]
		ArrayType	string	Indexed
		Description	string	A reference to the newly created NetworkPipes.
		IN	boolean	true
		ModelCorrespondence	string	CIM_Network.CreateNetworkPipes.SourceSAP, CIM_Network.CreateNetworkPipes.SinkSAP, CIM_Network.CreateNetworkPipes.Directionality
		OUT	boolean	true
SinkSAP	CIM_ServiceAccessPoint[]
		ArrayType	string	Indexed
		Description	string	The endpoints of the NetworkPipe. Pass the sink SAP to this parameter when creating unidirectional NetworkPipes. When creating bi-directional NetworkPipes, it does not matter which SAP reference is passed to this parameter.
		IN	boolean	true
		ModelCorrespondence	string	CIM_Network.CreateNetworkPipes.Directionality, CIM_Network.CreateNetworkPipes.SourceSAP, CIM_Network.CreateNetworkPipes.NetworkPipe
		Required	boolean	true
SourceSAP	CIM_ServiceAccessPoint[]
		ArrayType	string	Indexed
		Description	string	The endpoints of the NetworkPipes. Pass the source SAP to this parameter when creating unidirectional NetworkPipes. When creating bi-directional NetworkPipes, it does not matter which SAP reference is passed to this parameter.
		IN	boolean	true
		ModelCorrespondence	string	CIM_Network.CreateNetworkPipes.Directionality, CIM_Network.CreateNetworkPipes.SinkSAP, CIM_Network.CreateNetworkPipes.NetworkPipe
		Required	boolean	true
Job	REF CIM_ConcreteJob
		Description	string	Reference to the job (can be null if the task is completed).
		IN	boolean	false
		ModelCorrespondence	string	CIM_Network.CreateNetworkPipes.SourceSAP, CIM_Network.CreateNetworkPipes.Directionality, CIM_Network.CreateNetworkPipes.NetworkPipe
		OUT	boolean	true
