NIC.DeviceLevelConfig.NumPorts (Read or Write)
Description
Configuration control for Controllers that have the ability to support different port counts per SFF (e.g.,
SFP-DD, QSFP) or backplane interface. Controllers on implementations that are fixed in their number of
ports shall not implement this attribute. This attribute is defined as device-level due to symmetry
expectations, if symmetry is not a requirement, it should be implemented at the port level.

NIC.DeviceLevelConfig.PartitionStateInterpretation (Read Only)
Description
Describes how partitioning is implemented and how the PartitionState attribute is used in the controller. A
value of Fixed signifies that partition states are locked and that the current values of PartitionState[n] will
not change. A value of Variable signifies that PartitionState[n] may/will change values during the course
of device operation as a result of user configuration. Implementations that support changes in
PartitionState must implement this attribute. The Default value is implementation dependent.

NIC.DeviceLevelConfig.RDMAApplicationProfile (Read or Write)
Description
Indicates what RDMA configuration profiles are supported by the controller. [Vendor input requested if 1)
additional profiles are thought to be needed, 2) if the appl profile can vary by port or partitionm and 3) if
appl profiles are supported on a partition basis]. Note: RoCE 1 and RoCE 2 are vendor-specific profiles
and should not be interpreted as a version of RoCE.
