address, they will be associated with only one IP Protocol endpoint instance. The Provider does not support this advanced use
as it is not required or used by Intel PROSet.
Creating Instances
You cannot create instances of IANet_IPProtocolEndpoint. The instance exists only if the operating system has bound the
protocol to the endpoint.
Removing Instances
You cannot remove instances of IANet_IPProtocolEndpoint.
Modifying Properties
There are no user-modifiable properties for this class.
Associations
An instance IANet_AdapterProtocolImplementation is used to associate an IANet_EthernetAdapter with an
IANet_IPProtocolEndpoint. An instance of IANet_VLANProtocolDependency is used to associate a VLAN with an
IANet_IPProtocolEndpoint.
Note: Teams are associated with the endpoint via the adapter that represents the virtual adapter for the team.

IANet_BootAgent
Purpose
This class is used to capture information about the network boot capabilities of an adapter (e.g., settings for the PXE Boot
Agent supported by some Intel adapters). This class is derived from CIM_BootService.
Instances
An IANet_BootAgent instance exists for each adapter that supports boot agent capability, even if the boot agent is not
currently installed.
Creating Instances
You cannot create instances of IANet_BootAgent. An instance exists only if the adapter supports boot agent functionality.
Removing Instances
You cannot remove instances of IANet_BootAgent.
Modifying Properties
There are no user-modifiable properties of this class.
Associations
An instance of IANet_DeviceBootServiceImplementation is used to associate an IANet_EthernetAdapter with an
IANet_BootAgent, if the adapter supports it.
