Table 1. Attributes of Switch

Attribute

Description

Allowed values

AccessMode

The mode to access a system. It can have one of the following values: ICMPONLY, SNMPONLY, or ICMPSNMP.

Enum

AprioriProbability_Down

Float

BridgeAddress

The bridge address as defined in RFC1493.

String

Certification

The Certification attribute defines the level of certification that this device has in the discovery process:

  • UNSUPPORTED deprecated.

  • GENERIC indicates that the OID for the device is not recognized and the device will be classified as GENERIC and added to the Node class. Standard MIB-II data is used to perform analysis on the device.

  • TEMPLATE indicates that the device is recognized but that no information about the MIBs this device supports is unknown.

  • CERTIFIED indicates that the device has the highest level of certification and is discovered using enterprise MIBs as well as standard MIB-II data.

  • VALIDATED deprecated.

UNDISCOVERED indicates the system is undiscovered.

Enum

CIM_CreationClassName

CreationClassName attribute defined in CIM model.

String

CIM_Description

The Description property provides a textual description of the object.

String

CIM_Name

Name attribute defined in CIM model. It defines the label by which the object is known. When subclassed, the Name property can be overridden to be a Key property.

String

CreationClassName

The name of the most-derived class of this instance.

String

Description

A textual description of the object.

String

DesignatedRoot

The bridge identifier of the root of the spanning tree as determined by the Spanning Tree Protocol as executed by this Bridge. This value is used as the Root Identifier parameter in all Configuration Bridge PDUs originated by this node.

String

DesignatedRootPort

The port number of the port which offers the lowest cost path from this Bridge to the root Bridge.

Integer

DiscoveredFirstAt

The time when the first discovery probe of this System occurred.

String

DiscoveredLastAt

The time when the last discovery probe of this System occurred.

String

DiscoveredLastAtToSeconds

The numeric time when the last discovery probe of this System occurred.

Unsigned-Integer

DiscoveryErrorInfo

A message describing the last discovery error for this System.

String

DiscoveryTime

The time taken for the last discovery probe of this System.

String

DisplayClassName

The string shown in the GUI when this object's class is displayed.

String

DisplayName

The string shown in the GUI when this object's name is displayed.

String

Domain

The domain to which the system belongs.

String

HasIPAddresses

Boolean

HasIPv6Addresses

Boolean

indexVal

String

IsAddressable

Set to TRUE if the system is IP addressable.

Boolean

IsDiscoveryInProgress

TRUE if discovery is in progress for this system.

Boolean

IsEveryIPUnresponsive

Boolean

IsEveryIPv6Unresponsive

Boolean

IsEveryNeighborUnresponsive

Boolean

IsEveryServiceUnresponsive

Boolean

IsManaged

The IsManaged attribute determines if an ICIM_ManagedSystemElement should be monitored by the management system. An unmanaged object will never have associated instrumentation. This attribute is readonly.

Boolean

IsMightBeDown

Boolean

IsProxy

TRUE if this is a proxy of remote system.

Boolean

IsSeed

TRUE if the system is added as seed.

Boolean

IsUnmanagedOrUnresponsive

Boolean

IsUnmanagedOrUnresponsive_internal

Boolean

IsUnresponsive

TRUE indicates that the system is not responding to ICMP pings or SNMP polls. FALSE indicates that the system is responding to ICMP pings and/or SNMP polls.

Boolean

IsUnresponsive_internal

TRUE indicates that the system is not responding to ICMP pings or SNMP polls. FALSE indicates that the system is responding to ICMP pings and/or SNMP polls.

Boolean

KEYS

Types and Names of key attributes defined in CIM model.

String

Location

A description of where this System is located.

String

Model

The name by which the System is generally known.

String

MonitoringEnabled

Boolean

Name

Name of object

String

NameFormat

The ComputerSystem object and its derivatives are Top Level Objects of ICIM. They provide the scope for numerous components. Having unique System keys is required. A heuristic is defined to create the ComputerSystem Name to attempt to always generate the same Name, independent of discovery protocol. This prevents inventory and management problems where the same asset or entity is discovered multiple times, but cannot be resolved to a single object. Use of the heuristic is optional, but recommended. The NameFormat property identifies how the ComputerSystem Name is generated, using a heuristic. The heuristic is outlined, in detail, in the CIM V2 System Model spec. It assumes that the documented rules are traversed in order, to determine and assign a Name. The NameFormat Values list defines the precedence order for assigning the ComputerSystem Name. Several rules do map to the same Value. Note that the ComputerSystem Name calculated using the heuristic is the System's key value. Other names, or Aliases, that better describe a business, can be assigned and used for the ComputerSystem.

Enum

NumberOfInterfaces

Unsigned-Integer

NumberOfIPs

Unsigned-Integer

NumberOfIPv6s

Unsigned-Integer

NumberOfNetworkAdapters

Unsigned-Integer

NumberOfPorts

Unsigned-Integer

OSVersion

The software version of this System's operating system.

String

PrimaryOwnerContact

A string that provides information on how the primary system owner can be reached (e.g., phone number, email address).

String

PrimaryOwnerName

The name of the primary owner of the ICIM_System.

String

ReadCommunity

The SNMP read community string.

String

ReconfiguredAfter

The DiscoveredLastAt value for which the last reconfigure is performed.

String

RemoveComponents

Enable or disable component deletion functionality for ICIM_System instances. This is used by remove() function. Default value is set to FALSE.

String

SNMPAddress

The primary address used to contact the SNMP agent running on this System. Note that if this System hosts more than one network address, it may be possible that another address is currently being used to contact the agent.

String

SourceAddress

Boolean

SystemName

The name of this ICIM_System object.

String

SystemObjectID

The System Object Identifier associated with the Vendor of this ComputerSystem.
