The origin of the address.
manual(2) indicates that the address was manually configured
to a specified address, e.g., by user configuration.
dhcp(4) indicates an address that was assigned to this
system by a DHCP server.
linklayer(5) indicates an address created by IPv6 stateless
auto-configuration.
random(6) indicates an address chosen by the system at
random, e.g., an IPv4 address within 169.254/16, or an RFC
3041 privacy address.
IpAddressPrefixOriginTC
enumeration
The origin of this prefix.
manual(2) indicates a prefix that was manually configured.
wellknown(3) indicates a well-known prefix, e.g., 169.254/16
for IPv4 auto-configuration or fe80::/10 for IPv6 link-local
addresses. Well known prefixes may be assigned by IANA,
the address registries, or by specification in a standards
track RFC.
dhcp(4) indicates a prefix that was assigned by a DHCP
server.
routeradv(5) indicates a prefix learned from a router
advertisement.
Note: while IpAddressOriginTC and IpAddressPrefixOriginTC
are similar, they are not identical. The first defines how
an address was created, while the second defines how a
prefix was found.
IpAddressStatusTC
enumeration
The status of an address. Most of the states correspond to
states from the IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
protocol.
The preferred(1) state indicates that this is a valid
address that can appear as the destination or source address
of a packet.
The deprecated(2) state indicates that this is a valid but
deprecated address that should no longer be used as a source
address in new communications, but packets addressed to such
an address are processed as expected.
The invalid(3) state indicates that this isn't a valid
address and it shouldn't appear as the destination or source
address of a packet.
The inaccessible(4) state indicates that the address is not
accessible because the interface to which this address is
assigned is not operational.
The unknown(5) state indicates that the status cannot be
determined for some reason.
The tentative(6) state indicates that the uniqueness of the
address on the link is being verified. Addresses in this
state should not be used for general communication and
should only be used to determine the uniqueness of the
address.
The duplicate(7) state indicates the address has been
determined to be non-unique on the link and so must not be
used.
The optimistic(8) state indicates the address is available
for use, subject to restrictions, while its uniqueness on
a link is being verified.
In the absence of other information, an IPv4 address is
always preferred(1).
Ipv6AddressIfIdentifierTC
string
This data type is used to model IPv6 address
interface identifiers. This is a binary string
of up to 8 octets in network byte-order.
