AutoSenseboolean
DescriptionstringA Boolean that indicates whether the NetworkPort is capable of automatically determining the speed or other communications characteristics of the attached network media.
FullDuplexboolean
DescriptionstringBoolean that indicates that the port is operating in full duplex mode.
LinkTechnologyuint16
DescriptionstringAn enumeration of the types of links. When set to 1 ("Other"), the related property OtherLinkTechnology contains a string description of the type of link.

PermanentAddressstring
DescriptionstringPermanentAddress defines 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 NetworkAdapter.

PortNumberuint16
DescriptionstringNetworkPorts are often numbered relative to either a logical module or a network element.
Speeduint64
DescriptionstringThe 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.
