The Simple NIC Profile extends the management capability of the referencing profiles by adding the
capability to describe NIC controllers in a very simple fashion. In this profile a NIC is represented by a
view instance that aggregates zero or more instances of the DCIM_NICAttribute class each representing
a NIC controller related configurable property. DCIM_NICService shall be the Central Class.
CIM_ComputerSystem shall be the Scoping Class. The instance of DCIM_NICService shall be the
Central Instance. The instance of CIM_ComputerSystem with which the Central Instance is associated
through the CIM_HostedService association shall be the Scoping Instance.
