Modifying Properties

There are no user-modifiable properties for this class.

Associations

An instance IANet_AdapterProtocolImplementation is used to associate an IANet_EthernetAdapter with an

IANet_IPProtocolEndpoint.

Note: Teams are associated with the endpoint via the adapter that represents the virtual adapter for the team.

IANet_BootAgent

Purpose

This class is used to capture information about the network boot capabilities of an adapter (e.g., settings for the PXE Boot

Agent supported by some Intel adapters). This class is derived from CIM_BootService.

Instances

An IANet_BootAgent instance exists for each adapter that supports boot agent capability, even if the boot agent is not

currently installed.

Creating Instances

You cannot create instances of IANet_BootAgent. An instance exists only if the adapter supports boot agent functionality.

Removing Instances

You cannot remove instances of IANet_BootAgent.

Modifying Properties

There are no user-modifiable properties of this class.

Associations

An instance of IANet_DeviceBootServiceImplementation is used to associate an IANet_EthernetAdapter with an

IANet_BootAgent, if the adapter supports it.
