AddressTypeuint16
DescriptionstringAn enumeration that describes the format of the address property. Addresses that can be formatted in IPv4 format, must be formatted that way to ensure mixed IPv4/IPv6 support.None TRANSLATABLE= true

SubnetMaskstring
DescriptionstringThe mask for the starting IP address of the IPSubnet, formatted according to the appropriate convention as defined in the AddressType property of this class (e.g., '255.255.252.0').None TRANSLATABLE= true
SubnetNumberstring
DescriptionstringThe IP address of the entire subnet, formatted according to the appropriate convention as defined in the AddressType property of this class. Note that CIDR format is not supported for this release. This is because, without more formal methods like constraints, it is possible to create different instances of the same object that have different naming formats. IPv4-compatible addresses should be used instead of IPv6 addresses (see RFC 2373, section 2.5.4). In order to have a consistent format for IPv4 addresses in a mixed IPv4/v6 environment, all IPv4 addresses and both IPv4-compatible IPv6 addresses and IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses, per RFC 2373, section 2.5.4, should be formatted in standard IPv4 format. However, this (the 2.2) version of the Network Common Model will not explicitly support mixed IPv4/IPv6 environments. This will be added in a future release.None TRANSLATABLE= true
