class CIM_NetworkPacketAction : CIM_PolicyAction

Description:

NetworkPacketAction standardizes different processing options that can be taken at the network packet level. The specific action is defined in the PacketAction enumerated property. Note that this property can be used in conjunction with other actions aggregated into a Rule, to fully define its effects. For example, when aggregated with the SAStaticAction class, NetworkPacketAction indicates whether a specific packet will be encrypted, bypassed or discarded for the lifetime of the Security Association.

Feature Type Class Origin Qualifiers
InstanceID string CIM_ManagedElement
Description InstanceID is an optional property that may be used to opaquely and uniquely identify an instance of this class within the scope of the instantiating Namespace. Various subclasses of this class may override this property to make it required, or a key. Such subclasses may also modify the preferred algorithms for ensuring uniqueness that are defined below. To ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID should be constructed using the following "preferred" algorithm: <OrgID>:<LocalID> Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon (:), and where <OrgID> must include a copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity that is creating or defining the InstanceID or that is a registered ID assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority. (This requirement is similar to the <Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness, <OrgID> must not contain a colon (:). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID must appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID>. <LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and should not be reused to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If not null and the above "preferred" algorithm is not used, the defining entity must assure that the resulting InstanceID is not reused across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for the NameSpace of this instance. If not set to null for DMTF-defined instances, the "preferred" algorithm must be used with the <OrgID> set to CIM.
Caption string CIM_ManagedElement
Description The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.
MaxLen 64
Description string CIM_ManagedElement
Description The Description property provides a textual description of the object.
ElementName string CIM_ManagedElement
Description A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name in addition to its key properties, identity data, and description information. Note that the Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the Name and ElementName properties.
CommonName string CIM_Policy
Description A user-friendly name of this policy-related object.
PolicyKeywords string[] CIM_Policy
Description An array of keywords for characterizing / categorizing policy objects. Keywords are of one of two types: - Keywords defined in this and other MOFs, or in DMTF white papers. These keywords provide a vendor- independent, installation-independent way of characterizing policy objects. - Installation-dependent keywords for characterizing policy objects. Examples include 'Engineering', 'Billing', and 'Review in December 2000'. This MOF defines the following keywords: 'UNKNOWN', 'CONFIGURATION', 'USAGE', 'SECURITY', 'SERVICE', 'MOTIVATIONAL', 'INSTALLATION', and 'EVENT'. These concepts are self-explanatory and are further discussed in the SLA/Policy White Paper. One additional keyword is defined: 'POLICY'. The role of this keyword is to identify policy-related instances that may not be otherwise identifiable, in some implementations. The keyword 'POLICY' is NOT mutually exclusive of the other keywords specified above.
SystemCreationClassName string CIM_PolicyAction
Key TRUE
Description The name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of the System object in whose scope this PolicyAction is defined. This property helps to identify the System object in whose scope this instance of PolicyAction exists. For a rule-specific PolicyAction, this is the System in whose context the PolicyRule is defined. For a reusable PolicyAction, this is the instance of PolicyRepository (which is a subclass of System) that holds the Action. Note that this property, and the analogous property SystemName, do not represent propagated keys from an instance of the class System. Instead, they are properties defined in the context of this class, which repeat the values from the instance of System to which this PolicyAction is related, either directly via the PolicyActionInPolicyRepository association or indirectly via the PolicyActionInPolicyRule aggregation.
MaxLen 256
SystemName string CIM_PolicyAction
Key TRUE
Description The name of the System object in whose scope this PolicyAction is defined. This property completes the identification of the System object in whose scope this instance of PolicyAction exists. For a rule-specific PolicyAction, this is the System in whose context the PolicyRule is defined. For a reusable PolicyAction, this is the instance of PolicyRepository (which is a subclass of System) that holds the Action.
MaxLen 256
PolicyRuleCreationClassName string CIM_PolicyAction
Key TRUE
Description For a rule-specific PolicyAction, the CreationClassName of the PolicyRule object with which this Action is associated. For a reusable PolicyAction, a special value, 'NO RULE', should be used to indicate that this Action is reusable and not associated with a single PolicyRule.
MaxLen 256
PolicyRuleName string CIM_PolicyAction
Key TRUE
Description For a rule-specific PolicyAction, the name of the PolicyRule object with which this Action is associated. For a reusable PolicyAction, a special value, 'NO RULE', should be used to indicate that this Action is reusable and not associated with a single PolicyRule.
MaxLen 256
CreationClassName string CIM_PolicyAction
Key TRUE
Description CreationClassName indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified.
MaxLen 256
PolicyActionName string CIM_PolicyAction
Key TRUE
Description A user-friendly name of this PolicyAction.
MaxLen 256
DoActionLogging boolean CIM_PolicyAction
Description DoActionLogging causes a log message to be generated when the action is performed.
PacketAction uint16 CIM_NetworkPacketAction
Description A network packet can be processed, bypassed for processing (i.e., allowed to continue without further processing, such as being forwarded in the clear versus being encrypted), or discarded. This enumeration indicates how a packet should be handled if a PolicyRule's PolicyConditions evaluate to TRUE.
