interfaces.

provider overview

description

The

LAN Provider is a

CIM Provider for

Ethernet

based

LAN interfaces

. The Provider

provides

information on LAN interfaces in the system. The provider shows only Ethernet-based LAN links and shows

each of the Ethernet links as an available Ethernet port (HPUX_EthernetPort; sub-class of CIM_EthernetPort)

and also as LAN protocol endpoint (HPUX_EthernetLANEndpoint; sub-class of CIM_LANEndpoint). The

Provider also supports an association between these two classes, allowing a correlation between an

Ethernet port and a LAN protocol endpoint. This association class name is

HPUX_EthernetPortImplementsLANEndpoint; sub-class of CIM_PortImplementsEndpoint.

The provider also provides information regarding link aggregates created using HP Auto Port

Aggregation(HPUX_EthernetTeam; sub-class of CIM_RedundancySet).

Client applications can use the LAN Provider to determine all

Ethernet LAN links available in the system.

The Internet Protocol (IP) Provider, which supports an association between IP and LAN Endpoints, can be

used to determine which LAN interface is associated with a given IP address. The IP Provider is packaged

with the HP WBEM services for HP-UX.

The LAN Provider instruments the CIM_EthernetPort, CIM_LANEndpoint, CIM_PortImplementsEndpoint, and

the CIM_RedundancySet classes from CIM Schema v2.7. These standard CIM classes are sub-classed to be

HP-UX specific classes; as HPUX_EthernetPort, HPUX_EthernetLANEndpoint

,HPUX_EthernetPortImplementsLANEndpoint, and HPUX_EthernetTeam respectively.

This Provider is for use by clients as part of a basic understanding of the identity of the managed system on

which it is running (typically a server or appliance).

HP-UX LAN Provider – CIM Provider for Ethernet LAN interfaces. provider overview description The HP-UX LAN Provider is a CIM Provider for Ethernet-based LAN interfaces. The Provider provides information on LAN interfaces in the system. The provider shows only Ethernet-based LAN links and shows each of the Ethernet links as an available Ethernet port (HPUX_EthernetPort; sub-class of CIM_EthernetPort) and also as LAN protocol endpoint (HPUX_EthernetLANEndpoint; sub-class of CIM_LANEndpoint).

The HP-UX LAN Provider is registered to support the “root/cimv2” namespace as an instance provider. The provider will be installed automatically when you install or update to the HP-UX release media specified in the “release information” section.
