EnabledState is an integer enumeration that indicates the enabled and disabled states of an element. It can also indicate the transitions between these requested states. For example, shutting down (value=4) and starting (value=10) are transient states between enabled and disabled. The following text briefly summarizes the various enabled and disabled states:Enabled (2) indicates that the element is or could be running commands, will process any queued commands, and queues new requests.Disabled (3) indicates that the element will not run commands and will drop any new requests.Shutting Down (4) indicates that the element is in the process of going to a Disabled state.Not Applicable (5) indicates the element does not support being enabled or disabled.Enabled but Offline (6) indicates that the element might be completing commands, and will drop any new requests.Test (7) indicates that the element is in a test state.Deferred (8) indicates that the element might be completing commands, but will queue any new requests.Quiesce (9) indicates that the element is enabled but in a restricted mode. The behavior of the element is similar to the Enabled state, but it processes only a restricted set of commands. All other requests are queued.Starting (10) indicates that the element is in the process of going to an Enabled state. New requests are queued.
FullDuplex boolean
Boolean that indicates that the port is operating in full duplex mode.
IdentifyingDescriptions string
An array of free-form strings providing explanations and details behind the entries in the OtherIdentifyingInfo array. Note, each entry of this array is related to the entry in OtherIdentifyingInfo that is located at the same index.

Indicates the current status of the port.Possible values are 2 ("OK") if the port is"active",6 ("Error") if the port is in"failure",10 ("Stopped") if the port is"inactive"or12 ("No contact") if the port is"not installed".
OtherEnabledState string
A string that describes the enabled or disabled state of the element when the EnabledState property is set to 1 ("Other"). This property must be set to null when EnabledState is any value other than 1.
OtherIdentifyingInfo string
Max Length256
OtherIdentifyingInfo captures additional data, beyond DeviceID information, that could be used to identify a LogicalDevice. One example would be to hold the Operating System's user friendly name for the Device in this property.
OtherPortType string
Describes the type of module, when PortType is set to 1 ("Other").
PermanentAddress string
Max Length64
PermanentAddress defines the network address that is hardcoded into a port. This'hardcoded'address can be changed using a firmware upgrade or a software configuration. When this change is made, the field should be updated at the same time. PermanentAddress should be left blank if no'hardcoded'address exists for the NetworkAdapter.
PortNumber uint16
NetworkPorts are often numbered relative to either a logical module or a network element.
PortType uint16
The specific mode currently enabled for the Port. The values:"N"= Node Port,"NL"= Node Port supporting FC arbitrated loop,"E"= Expansion Port connecting fabric elements (for example, FC switches),"F"= Fabric (element) Port,"FL"= Fabric (element) Port supporting FC arbitrated loop,"B"= Bridge and"G"= Generic Port. PortTypes are defined in the ANSI X3 standards. When set to 1 ("Other"), the related property OtherPortType contains a string description of the port's type.

RequestedState is an integer enumeration that indicates the last requested or desired state for the element. The actual state of the element is represented by EnabledState. This property is provided to compare the last requested and current enabled or disabled states. When EnabledState is set to 5 ("Not Applicable"), then this property has no meaning. By default, the RequestedState of the element is 5 ("No Change"). Refer to the EnabledState property description for explanations of the values in the RequestedState enumeration.It should be noted that there are two new values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of EnabledState. These are"Reboot"(10) and"Reset"(11). Reboot refers to doing a"Shut Down"and then moving to an"Enabled"state. Reset indicates that the element is first"Disabled"and then"Enabled". The distinction between requesting"Shut Down"and"Disabled"should also be noted. Shut Down requests an orderly transition to the Disabled state, and might involve removing power, to completely erase any existing state. The Disabled state requests an immediate disabling of the element, such that it will not run or accept any commands or processing requests.This property is set as the result of a method invocation (such as Start or StopService on CIM_Service), or can be overridden and defined as WRITEable in a subclass. The method approach is considered superior to a WRITEable property, because it allows an explicit invocation of the operation and the return of a result code.A particular instance of EnabledLogicalElement might not support RequestedStateChange. If this occurs, the value 12 ("Not Applicable") is used.SAN Volume Controller does not evaluate this attribute and therefore no action is taken when it's changed.
Speed uint64
The current bandwidth of the Port in Bits per Second. For ports that vary in bandwidth or for those where no accurate estimation can be made, this property should contain the nominal bandwidth.
StatusDescriptions string
Strings describing the various OperationalStatus array values. For example, if"Stopping"is the value assigned to OperationalStatus, then this property may contain an explanation as to why an object is being stopped. Entries in this array are correlated with those at the same array index in OperationalStatus.

In some circumstances, a LogicalPort might be identifiable as a front end or back end port. An example of this situation would be a storage array that might have back end ports to communicate with disk drives and front end ports to communicate with hosts. If there is no restriction on the use of the port, then the value should be set to'not restricted'.
