com.vmware.vapi.bindings.ApiEnumeration<NetworkTypes.Type>

com.vmware.vcenter.NetworkTypes.Type

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

Enclosing interface:

NetworkTypes

public static final class NetworkTypes.Type
extends ApiEnumeration<NetworkTypes.Type>

The Type enumeration class defines the type of a vCenter Server network. The type of a network can be used to determine what features it supports and which APIs can be used to find more information about the network or change its configuration.

See enumerated types description.

Field Detail

STANDARD_PORTGROUP

public static final NetworkTypes.Type STANDARD_PORTGROUP

vSphere standard portgroup (created and managed on ESX)

DISTRIBUTED_PORTGROUP

public static final NetworkTypes.Type DISTRIBUTED_PORTGROUP

Distributed virtual portgroup (created and managed through vCenter)

OPAQUE_NETWORK

public static final NetworkTypes.Type OPAQUE_NETWORK

A network whose configuration is managed outside of vSphere. The identifer and name of the network is made available through vSphere so that host and virtual machine virtual ethernet devices can connect to them.

Method Detail

values

public static NetworkTypes.Type[] values()

Retrieve all enumeration constants pre-defined by this enumeration class.

Additional instances might exist at runtime, for example to represent a new constant added to this enumeration class in subsequent version of the API. Such new constant is represented as instance of NetworkTypes.Type but is not pre-defined.

Returns:

Array of all pre-defined enumeration constants. Never null.

valueOf

public static NetworkTypes.Type valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enumeration constant for the specified name.

If the name matches exactly the identifier used to declare an enumeration constant from this enumeration class, the constant in question will be returned.

Otherwise, a new instance of NetworkTypes.Type will be returned for the specified name, which will not be one of the pre-defined constant instances. Such new instance maps to the NetworkTypes.Type.Values._UNKNOWN enum constant from the native Java enum.

Parameters:

name - The name of the constant to return. Must not be null.

Returns:

Enumeration constant for the specified name. Never null.

isUnknown

public boolean isUnknown()

Checks if this enumeration constant is unknown. Unknown is a constant that is not one of the pre-defined ones for this enumeration class. Also see valueOf(java.lang.String) and values().

Returns:

true if this constant is unknown, and false otherwise.

getEnumValue

public NetworkTypes.Type.Values getEnumValue()

Returns a native Java enum constant representing this enumeration constant. The result is useful for usual handling of Java enum, for example it can be used in switch statements.

If this enumeration constant is unknown, then NetworkTypes.Type.Values._UNKNOWN enum constant is returned.

The native Java enum is NetworkTypes.Type.Values.

Returns:

The Java enum constant. Never null.
