PVIDuint16
DescriptionstringEach ethernet port on an ethernet switch has a VLAN ID that is called Port VLAN ID (PVID). The PVID will be applied to the frames which are untagged or tagged with priority ( vid = 0 ). This property indicates the PVID of the Ethernet port.
Writebooleantrue
Capabilitiesuint16[]
ArrayTypestringIndexed
DescriptionstringCapabilities of the EthernetPort. 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. LLDP indicates that this Ethernet Port is capable of supporting Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) communications. PoE indicates that this Ethernet Port is capable of supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE). EEE indicates that this Ethernet Port is capable of supporting Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE). DCE indicates that this Ethernet Port is capable of supporting Data Center Ethernet. Data Center Ethernet requires support for Prioritiy-Based Flow Control (PFC), Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS), and Data Center Bridging eXchange (DCBX) protocol. VDP indicates that this Ethernet Port is capable of supporting Virtual Station Interface (VSI) Discovery Protocol. S-Channel indicates that this Ethernet Port is capable of supporting S-Channel.

NetworkAddressesstring[]
DescriptionstringEthernet/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.)

PortDiscriminatorstring[]
DescriptionstringA string array used to discriminate the supported context of this EthernetPort. The following strings are currently defined: 'SNIA:None' - indicates this EthernetPort does not provide support for any specific function. 'SNIA:iSCSI' - indicates this EthernetPort provides support for iSCSI. 'SNIA:FCoE' - indicates that this EthernetPort provides support for FC over Ethernet - FCoE.
