Interface Capability Form

[This is the context-sensitive link for the Interface Capability form.]

This form describes a capability added to the interface object by NNMi or an external application. Capabilities enable NNMi and application programmers to provide more information about a card than what is initially stored in the NNMi database.

For example, NNMi uses the capability feature to identify interfaces for which NNMi can obtain only limited information. Examples of these interfaces include Nortel interfaces as well as any interface on a non-SNMP node. To help identify these interfaces, NNMi assigns the interface the capability of com.hp.nnm.capability.iface.private.

Note Because the values are generated by NNMi or an external application, Capability values cannot be modified. 

(NNMi Advanced - Global Network Management feature) Any Capability values added by an NNM iSPI are available on the Global Manager only if that iSPI is also running on the Global Manager.
