Indicates whether the port is blocked by switch implementation.
linkPeer*xsd:string

Name of the connected entity.
linkUpxsd:boolean

Indicates whether the port is in linkUp status.
macAddress*xsd:string

The MAC address that is used at this port.
mtu*xsd:int

Since vSphere API 4.1
trunkingMode*xsd:boolean

True if the port VLAN tagging/stripping is disabled.
vlanIds*NumericRange[]

VLAN ID of the port.
vmDirectPathGen2Active*xsd:boolean

Indicates whether VMDirectPath Gen 2 is active on this port. If false, the reason(s) for inactivity will be provided in one or more of vmDirectPathGen2InactiveReasonNetwork, vmDirectPathGen2InactiveReasonOther, and vmDirectPathGen2InactiveReasonExtended.

If the host software is not capable of VMDirectPath Gen 2, this property will be unset. See HostCapability.vmDirectPathGen2Supported.

Since vSphere API 4.1
vmDirectPathGen2InactiveReasonExtended*xsd:string

If vmDirectPathGen2Active is false, this property may contain an explanation provided by the platform, beyond the reasons (if any) listed in vmDirectPathGen2InactiveReasonNetwork and/or vmDirectPathGen2InactiveReasonOther.

Since vSphere API 4.1
vmDirectPathGen2InactiveReasonNetwork*xsd:string[]

If vmDirectPathGen2Active is false, this array will be populated with reasons for the inactivity that are related to network state or configuration. The reasons are chosen from the DVPortStatusVmDirectPathGen2InactiveReasonNetwork values.

Other reasons for inactivity will be provided in vmDirectPathGen2InactiveReasonOther. If there is a reason for inactivity that cannot be described by the available constants, vmDirectPathGen2InactiveReasonExtended will be populated with an additional explanation provided by the platform.

Note that this list of reasons is not guaranteed to be exhaustive.

Since vSphere API 4.1
vmDirectPathGen2InactiveReasonOther*xsd:string[]

If vmDirectPathGen2Active is false, this array will be populated with reasons for the inactivity that are not related to network state or configuration. The reasons are chosen from the DVPortStatusVmDirectPathGen2InactiveReasonOther values.

Network-related reasons for inactivity will be provided in vmDirectPathGen2InactiveReasonNetwork. If there is a reason for inactivity that cannot be described by the available constants, vmDirectPathGen2InactiveReasonExtended will be populated with an additional explanation provided by the platform.

Note that this list of reasons is not guaranteed to be exhaustive.
