cucsVnicEthLifNicDn

Module: CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-VNIC-MIB

OID (symbolic): CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-VNIC-MIB::cucsVnicEthLifNicDn

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.719.1.53.8.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: SnmpAdminString

Access: read-only

Description: Cisco UCS vnic:EthLif:nicDn managed object property

What is cucsVnicEthLifNicDn?

This read-only SnmpAdminString value holds the DN of the physical adapter (NIC) object this Ethernet Logical Interface (LIF) instance is instantiated on. This back-reference lets an admin trace a logical interface down to the exact physical adapter hardware backing it, which is necessary when a driver or firmware issue on the adapter is suspected. For the Ethernet LIF instantiated for vNIC 'eth0' on the adapter in server slot 4, carrying MAC address 00:25:B5:00:0A:1C, this OID would return the DN of the specific VIC adapter card in that server backing the logical interface.

Examples
