Network Interface Detail (PI_NIND)
Function
The Network Interface Detail (PI_NIND) record stores the performance data per unit time on a network interface. The available network interfaces include a loopback adapter, a local Token Ring adapter, and an Ethernet adapter, multiple network interfaces can be installed on a single machine. Each interface can have multiple IP addresses. Every time performance data is collected, a record is created for each network interface, but only the first IP address that is found is used. This is a multi-instance record.

Fields
PFM-View name (PFM-Manager name) | Description | Smry | Format | Delta | Not sprtd in | Data source |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Broadcast Address(BROADCAST_ADDRESS) | The first broadcast address that was found. Displayed in the Internet address format. In HP-UX and Solaris, the broadcast address of a loopback instance is not displayed. | COPY | string(20) | No | -- | -- |
Flags(FLAGS) | Interface flag setting. If it is 80 bytes or longer, the last character becomes >. In HP-UX, all flags that indicate interface statuses are included in the value in this field (the ifconfig command displays only some of the flags). | COPY | string(80) | No | -- | -- |
IP Address(IP_ADDRESS) | IP address of IPv4. Displayed in the Internet address format. | COPY | string(20) | No | -- | -- |
IP6 Address(IP6_ADDRESS) | IP address of IPv6. Displayed in the Internet address format. | COPY | string(50) | No | -- | -- |
Interface(INTERFACE_NAME) | Interface name | COPY | string(40) | No | -- | -- |
Interval(INTERVAL) | Interval at which the Network Interface Detail (PI_NIND) record was stored (seconds) | COPY | ulong | Yes | -- | RECORD_TIME - previous record time; for real-time, RECORD_TIME - last-boot-time |
Max Transmission Unit(MAX_TRANSMISSION_UNIT) | Maximum packet size (bytes) | COPY | ulong | No | -- | -- |
Network Mask(NETWORK_MASK) | Subnet mask of the first IP address that was found. Displayed in the Internet address format. | COPY | string(20) | No | -- | -- |
Network Name(NETWORK_NAME) | Network name. A network name that is 1,028 bytes or longer cannot be handled. The network name is displayed up to the size defined in the data model. In AIX and HP-UX, if NIS is active and there is no entry in the NIS database for network addresses, the first IP address of the interface that is found is masked and the result is displayed. | COPY | string(256) | No | -- | -- |
