This is an abstract base class for representing hardware devices that can be managed. This class represents a convenient aggregation point for combining different aspects of a device (e.g., the cables, connectors, cards, power supplies, and other objects that together make up the device). Thus, it enables the device itself to have a physical manifestation (e.g., the "Internet Gateway Router" can be identified as a PhysicalDevice). Examples of this class include routers and switches, computers, and other end-devices that are managed.

Attribute

Scope

Type

backplaneIndependent

Public

Boolean

Notes:

This is a boolean attribute that, if TRUE, indicates that this ManagedDevice has independent backplanes that can be managed separately. This is an optional attribute.

backplaneNumber

Public

Integer

Notes:

This is an integer that defines the number of backplanes that this device has. This is an optional attribute.

canMixPower

Public

Boolean

Notes:

This is a Boolean attribute that, if TRUE, means that AC and/or DC power supplies can be used in this device. If it is false, then only one or the other can be used.

configurationOrder

Public

String

Notes:

This is a free-form string that provides any order-specific instructions for configuring the set of components that together constitute this PhysicalDevice. This is an optional attribute.

deviceGroupID

Public

String

Notes:

This is a string, and is used to uniquely identify this device as a member of a group of devices. This is an optional attribute.

isComposite

Public

Boolean

Notes:

This is a Boolean attribute that, if TRUE, means that this physical device is in reality made up of a set of physical devices, each of which can be individually managed. This is an optional attribute.
