The domain manager classes depend upon class hierarchy and inheritance in order to pass attributes and other characteristics to other classes. Classes derived from superclass ICIM_Collection through Classes derived from superclass ICIM_Connection show how the Network Protocol Manager classes are derived from the following superclasses:
-
ICIM_Collection
Hierarchy: ICIM_Collection : CORE_Collection : CORE_ManagedObject : MR_ManagedObject : MR_Object (top)
-
ICIM_ManagedSystemElement
Hierarchy: ICIM_ManagedSystemElement : ICIM_ManagedElement : ICF_CoreManagedElement : CORE_ManagedObject : MR_ManagedObject : MR_Object (top)
-
ICIM_Service
Hierarchy: ICIM_Service : ICIM_LogicalElement : ICIM_ManagedSystemElement : ICIM_ManagedElement : ICF_CoreManagedElement : CORE_ManagedObject : MR_ManagedObject : MR_Object (top)
-
ICIM_ServiceAccessPoint
Hierarchy: ICIM_ServiceAccessPoint : ICIM_LogicalElement : ICIM_ManagedSystemElement : ICIM_ManagedElement : ICF_CoreManagedElement : CORE_ManagedObject : MR_ManagedObject : MR_Object (top)
-
ICIM_Connection
Hierarchy: ICIM_Connection : ICIM_LogicalElement : ICIM_ManagedSystemElement : ICIM_ManagedElement : ICF_CoreManagedElement : CORE_ManagedObject : MR_ManagedObject : MR_Object (top)
The term superclass refers to a class’s direct ancestor (parent class) or to any of its ascendant classes (grandparent classes).
The classes that are instantiated by Network Protocol Manager and visible to users are highlighted in blue. The Network Protocol Manager topology manager classes (MSI_AdapterManager::BGP-Adapter-Manager | EIGRP-Adapter-Manager | ISIS-Adapter-Manager | OSPF-Adapter-Manager) and instrumentation classes are not included in the illustrations.
