Property Description
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = IPv4 Only
• 2 = IPv6 Only
• 3 = Both IPv4 and IPv6
Name
A string that identifies this ProtocolEndpoint with either a port or 
an interface on a device. To ensure uniqueness, the Name property 
should be prepended or appended with information from the Type 
or OtherTypeDescription properties. The method selected is 
described in the NameFormat property of this class.
NameFormat 
Contains the naming heuristic that is selected to ensure that the 
value of the Name property is unique. For example, you may 
choose to prepend the name of the port or interface with the Type 
of ProtocolEndpoint (for example, IPv4) of this instance followed 
by an underscore.
ProtocolIFType 
ProtocolIFType's enumeration is limited to IP-related and reserved 
values for this subclass of ProtocolEndpoint.
Possible values are:
• 1 = Other
• 225..4095 = IANA
• Reserved 4096 = IPv4
• 4097 = IPv6
• 4098 = IPv4/v6
• 4301..32767 = DMTF Reserved
• 32768.. = Vendor Reserved
ProtocolType 
This property is deprecated instead of the ProtocolIFType 
enumeration. This deprecation was done to have better alignment 
between the IF-MIB of the IETF and this CIM class. Deprecated 
description: ProtocolType is an enumeration that provides 
information to categorize and classify different instances of this 
class. For most instances, information in this enumeration and the 
definition of the subclass overlap. However, there are several cases 
where a specific subclass of ProtocolEndpoint is not required (for 
example, there is no Fibre Channel subclass of ProtocolEndpoint). 
Therefore, this property is needed to define the type of Endpoint.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown
• 1 = Other
• 2 = IPv4
• 3 = IPv6
• 4 = IPX
• 5 = AppleTalk
• 6 = DECnet
• 7 = SNA
• 8 = CONP
• 9 = CLNP
• 10 = VINES
• 11 = XNS
• 12 = ATM
• 13 = Frame Relay
• 14 = Ethernet
• 15 = TokenRing
• 16 = FDDI
