Attributes for IP endpoint lists some key attributes for IP endpoint.

Table 1. Attributes for IP endpoint

Attribute

Description

Allowed values

Address

IP address of this IP endpoint; for example:

1.1.1.1

String

DisplayName

Name, as shown in the Global Console, of this IP endpoint; for example:

1.1.1.1 [vmwarewlan.corp.vmware.com]

String

InterfaceAdminStatus

Reflects the current administrative status of the interface underlying this IP endpoint:

  • UP indicates that the interface is administratively enabled.

  • DOWN indicates that the interface is administratively disabled.

  • TESTING indicates that the interface is in testing mode.

  • OTHER indicates that the interface is in an unknown state.

  • NOTPRESENT indicates that the MIB AdminStatus value for the interface is missing.

  • UNKNOWN indicates that the interface has yet to be polled.

When the value of the interface’s InterfaceAdminStatus is UP, the value of InterfaceOperStatus determines the state of the interface. Otherwise, the value of InterfaceAdminStatus determines the state of the interface.

Enum:

  • UP

  • DOWN

  • TESTING

  • OTHER

  • NOTPRESENT

  • UNKNOWN

InterfaceMode

Indicates the intended purpose of the interface underlying this IP endpoint: normal, backup, or dial-on-demand.

Enum:

  • NORMAL

  • BACKUP

  • ONDEMAND

InterfaceName

Name, as shown in the Global Console, of the interface underlying this IP endpoint; for example:

IF-vmwarewlan.corp.vmware.com/46 [ge-1/2/0.511] [1.1.1.1]

String

InterfaceOperStatus

Reflects the current operational status of the interface underlying this IP endpoint:

  • UP indicates that the interface is operationally up.

  • DOWN indicates that the interface is operationally down.

  • TESTING indicates that the interface is in testing mode.

  • OTHER indicates that the interface is in an unknown state.

  • DORMANT indicates that the interface is waiting for an external action to occur before becoming active.

  • NOTPRESENT indicates that the MIB OperStatus value for the interface is missing.

  • UNKNOWN indicates that the interface has yet to be polled.

Enum:

  • UP

  • DOWN

  • TESTING

  • OTHER

  • DORMANT

  • NOTPRESENT

  • UNKNOWN

InterfaceType

Type of interface underlying this IP endpoint, distinguished according to the physical/link protocols immediately “below” the network layer in the protocol stack.

Enum:

ATMFUNI

ARCNET

SONET

HIPPI

MODEM

V36

IEEE1394

IFGSN

ATMVIRTUAL

Note:

The configuration file InterfaceType.conf has the exhaustive list of allowed values. The configuration file is located at:BASEDIR/smarts/conf/discovery

RoundTripTime

Reflects the latency (in ms) observed during the last poll by the instrumentation. IP objects are typically instrumented using the ICMP (ping) protocol.

Integer

MaximumLatency

A non-zero value that sets the time (in ms) for ICMP request/response pair. If any pair takes longer than that (but does not time out), it will generate the IP::SlowResponseTime event.

Integer

IPStatus

Reflects the current state of this IP endpoint as reported by the instrumentation:

Note:

IP objects are typically instrumented using the ICMP (ping) protocol.

  • OK indicates that the IP interface is responding to ICMP pings.

  • NETUNREACHABLE indicates that the IP network is unreachable.

  • HOSTUNREACHABLE indicates that the host is unreachable.

  • PROTOCOLUNREACHABLE indicates that the ICMP protocol is unreachable.

  • PORTUNREACHABLE indicates that the port is unreachable.

  • NEEDFRAGUNREACHABLE indicates that the destination was unreachable because fragmentation was needed and do not fragment was set.

  • SRCFAILEDUNREACHABLE indicates that the source route failed.

  • DESTNETUNREACHABLE indicates that the destination network is unknown.

  • DESTHOSTUNREACHABLE indicates that the destination host is unknown.

  • ISOLATEDUNREACHABLE indicates that the source host is isolated.

  • AUTHNETUNREACHABLE indicates that communication with the destination network is administratively prohibited.

  • AUTHHOSTUNREACHABLE indicates that communication with the destination host is administratively prohibited.

  • NETSVCUNREACHABLE indicates that the destination network is unreachable for this type of service.

  • HOSTSVCUNREACHABLE indicates that the destination host is unreachable for this type of service.

  • TIMEXCEEDINTRANS indicates that the Time to Live (TTL) was exceeded in transit.

  • TIMEXCEEDREASS indicates that the fragment reassembly time was exceeded.

  • TIMEDOUT indicates that the last ICMP ping timed out.

  • OTHER indicates an unspecified error condition occurred.

  • UNKNOWN indicates an unspecified error condition occurred.

Enum:

  • OK

  • NETUNREACHABLE

  • HOSTUNREACHABLE

  • PROTOCOLUNREACHABLE

  • PORTUNREACHABLE

  • NEEDFRAGUNREACHABLE

  • SRCFAILEDUNREACHABLE

  • DESTNETUNREACHABLE

  • DESTHOSTUNREACHABLE

  • ISOLATEDUNREACHABLE

  • AUTHNETUNREACHABLE

  • AUTHHOSTUNREACHABLE

  • NETSVCUNREACHABLE

  • HOSTSVCUNREACHABLE

  • TIMEXCEEDINTRANS

  • TIMEXCEEDREASS

  • TIMEDOUT

  • OTHER

  • UNKNOWN
