Class CIM_NetworkAdapter
extends CIM_LogicalDevice

Note: The use of the CIM_NetworkAdpater class has been deprecated in lieu of CIM_NetworkPort. CIM_NetworkPort better reflects that the hardware of a single port is described and managed. Deprecated description: NetworkAdapter is an Abstract class that defines general networking hardware concepts (for example, PermanentAddress or Speed of operation).

Name	Data Type	Default Value	Qualifiers
Name	Data Type	Default Value	Name	Data Type	Value
AutoSense	boolean
			Deprecated	string	CIM_NetworkPort.AutoSense
			Description	string	Note: The use of this method has been deprecated. Deprecated description: A Boolean that indicates whether the NetworkAdapter is capable of automatically determining the speed or other communications characteristics of the attached network media.
FullDuplex	boolean
			Deprecated	string	CIM_NetworkPort.FullDuplex
			Description	string	Note: The use of this method has been deprecated. Deprecated description: A Boolean that indicates that the Adapter is operating in full duplex mode.
MaxSpeed	uint64
			Deprecated	string	CIM_NetworkPort.MaxSpeed
			Description	string	Note: The use of this method has been deprecated. Deprecated description: The maximum speed, in Bits per Second, for the Network Adapter.
			PUnit	string	bit / second
			Units	string	Bits per Second
OctetsReceived	uint64
			Counter	boolean	true
			Deprecated	string	CIM_NetworkPortStatistics.BytesReceived
			Description	string	Note: The use of OctetsReceived is deprecated. The replacement is CIM_NetworkPortStatistics.BytesReceived.
			MappingStrings	string	MIB.IETF\|RFC1213-MIB.ifInOctets, MIF.DMTF\|Network Adapter 802 Port\|001.9
OctetsTransmitted	uint64
			Counter	boolean	true
			Deprecated	string	CIM_NetworkPortStatistics.BytesTransmitted
			Description	string	Note: The use of this method has been deprecated. The replacement is CIM_NetworkPortStatistics.BytesTransmitted.
			MappingStrings	string	MIB.IETF\|RFC1213-MIB.ifOutOctets, MIF.DMTF\|Network Adapter 802 Port\|001.7
PermanentAddress	string
			Deprecated	string	CIM_NetworkPort.PermanentAddress
			Description	string	Note: The use of this method has been deprecated. Deprecated description: PermanentAddress defines the network address that is hardcoded into an adapter. This 'hardcoded' address might be changed through a firmware upgrade or software configuration. If so, this field should be updated when the change is made. PermanentAddress should be left blank if no 'hardcoded' address exists for the NetworkAdapter.
			MappingStrings	string	MIF.DMTF\|Network Adapter 802 Port\|001.2
			MaxLen	uint32	64
Speed	uint64
			Deprecated	string	CIM_NetworkPort.Speed
			Description	string	Note: The use of this method has been deprecated. Deprecated description: An estimate of the current bandwidth in Bits per Second. For Adapters that vary in bandwidth or for those where no accurate estimation can be made, this property should contain the nominal bandwidth.
			MappingStrings	string	MIB.IETF\|RFC1213-MIB.ifSpeed, MIF.DMTF\|Network Adapter 802 Port\|001.5
			PUnit	string	bit / second
			Units	string	Bits per Second
NetworkAddresses	string[]
			ArrayType	string	Indexed
			Deprecated	string	CIM_NetworkPort.NetworkAddresses
			Description	string	Note: The use of this method has been deprecated. Deprecated description: An array of strings that indicates the network addresses for an adapter.
