Shawn Hartsock 15f7be9a52 pyVmomi reStructured Text Documentation
This external documentation for pyVmomi was generated using Googly Docs
(aka Google Standard Documentation) which renders very cleanly in
GitHub. Internal documentation for a class should be done in Sphinx
format because tools like pyCharm and Eclipse can use that documentation
as a hint for code completion.

Note: External docs as Googly Docs, internal docs as Sphinx.

vim.net.IpStackInfo.NetToMedia

Information from an IP stack about known mappings betwwen an IP address and the underlying physical address it maps to as learned by: IPv4: Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) RFC 826 IPv6: Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) RFC 4861

extends

vmodl.DynamicData

since

vSphere API 4.1

Attributes:

ipAddress (str):

A Unicast IP address of another system directly reachable w/o routing. IPv4 address is specified using dotted decimal notation. For example, "192.0.2.1". IPv6 addresses are 128-bit addresses represented as eight fields of up to four hexadecimal digits. A colon separates each field (:). For example, 2001:DB8:101::230:6eff:fe04:d9ff. The address can also consist of the symbol '::' to represent multiple 16-bit groups of contiguous 0's only once in an address as described in RFC 2373.

physicalAddress (str):

The media-dependent of the address or empty string if not yet learned. For Ethernet interfaces this is a MAC address reported in the format: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX where XX are hexadecimal numbers.

device (str):

The value will be the name of the interface as reported by the operating system.

type (str):

The type/state of this entry as reported by the IP stack. See EntryType for values.
