Description: The virtual switch index associated with this interface (zero if none).

What is cienaCesIpMgmtInterfaceVirtualSwitchIndex?

This ties a management interface to a specific virtual switch instance on the device, returning zero when the interface isn't associated with any virtual switch at all. An admin working on a multi-tenant or virtualized Ciena platform needs this to know whether a given management interface is scoped to a particular virtual switch context or is a global, chassis-wide management path. A non-zero value like 5 would mean this management interface is tied specifically to virtual switch instance 5 rather than being a shared management port.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1271.2.1.8.1.1.1.1.8
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CIENA-CES-IP-INTERFACE-MIB::cienaCesIpMgmtInterfaceVirtualSwitchIndex

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1271.2.1.8.1.1.1.1.8.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CIENA-CES-IP-INTERFACE-MIB::cienaCesIpMgmtInterfaceVirtualSwitchIndex.1
