Class InterfacesTypes.IpAddressOrigin

java.lang.Object

com.vmware.vapi.bindings.ApiEnumeration<InterfacesTypes.IpAddressOrigin>

com.vmware.vcenter.vm.guest.networking.InterfacesTypes.IpAddressOrigin

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

Enclosing interface:

InterfacesTypes

public static final class InterfacesTypes.IpAddressOrigin
extends ApiEnumeration<InterfacesTypes.IpAddressOrigin>

The IpAddressOrigin enumeration class specifies how an IP address was obtained for an interface. See RFC 4293 IpAddressOriginTC. This enumeration was added in vSphere API 7.0.0.0.

See enumerated types description.

Field Detail

OTHER

public static final InterfacesTypes.IpAddressOrigin OTHER

Any other type of address configuration other than the below mentioned ones will fall under this category. For e.g., automatic address configuration for the link local address falls under this type. This constant field was added in vSphere API 7.0.0.0.

MANUAL

public static final InterfacesTypes.IpAddressOrigin MANUAL

The address is configured manually. This constant field was added in vSphere API 7.0.0.0.

DHCP

public static final InterfacesTypes.IpAddressOrigin DHCP

The address is configured through dhcp. This constant field was added in vSphere API 7.0.0.0.

LINKLAYER

public static final InterfacesTypes.IpAddressOrigin LINKLAYER

The address is obtained through stateless autoconfiguration (autoconf). See RFC 4862, IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration. This constant field was added in vSphere API 7.0.0.0.

RANDOM

public static final InterfacesTypes.IpAddressOrigin RANDOM

The address is chosen by the system at random e.g., an IPv4 address within 169.254/16, or an RFC 3041 privacy address. This constant field was added in vSphere API 7.0.0.0.

Method Detail

values

public static InterfacesTypes.IpAddressOrigin[] 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 InterfacesTypes.IpAddressOrigin but is not pre-defined.

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static InterfacesTypes.IpAddressOrigin 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 InterfacesTypes.IpAddressOrigin will be returned for the specified name, which will not be one of the pre-defined constant instances. Such new instance maps to the InterfacesTypes.IpAddressOrigin.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 InterfacesTypes.IpAddressOrigin.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 InterfacesTypes.IpAddressOrigin.Values._UNKNOWN enum constant is returned.

The native Java enum is InterfacesTypes.IpAddressOrigin.Values.

Returns:

The Java enum constant. Never null.
