Description: Cisco UCS vnic:Ether:instType managed object property

What is cucsVnicEtherInstType?

This read-only CucsVnicInstantiation value reports the instantiation type of this vNIC — for example whether it was created directly on a service profile or derived from a vNIC template. Vnics derived from a template automatically pick up future template edits, while directly-instantiated ones don't, so this field tells an admin whether editing the source template will actually change this specific vNIC's configuration. For the vNIC named 'eth0' on service profile 'SP-WEB03', pinned to fabric interconnect A with a 9000-byte MTU, this OID reporting a template-derived instantiation type means updating the source vNIC template will also update this vNIC automatically.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.719.1.53.9.1.12
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-VNIC-MIB::cucsVnicEtherInstType

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.719.1.53.9.1.12.1
