cucsVnicEtherPurpose
Module: CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-VNIC-MIB
OID (symbolic): CISCO-UNIFIED-COMPUTING-VNIC-MIB::cucsVnicEtherPurpose
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.719.1.53.9.1.42
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: CucsAdaptorPurpose
Access: read-only
Description: Cisco UCS vnic:Ether:purpose managed object property
What is cucsVnicEtherPurpose?
This read-only CucsAdaptorPurpose value reports the special purpose (if any) this vNIC serves, for example being reserved for a particular management or utility function. Some vNICs are reserved by UCS Manager for internal purposes rather than general data traffic, so this field tells an admin whether a given vNIC is safe to repurpose or should be left alone. For the vNIC named 'eth0' on service profile 'SP-WEB03', pinned to fabric interconnect A with a 9000-byte MTU, this OID reporting a non-general purpose value would warn an admin not to reassign that vNIC's VLANs for ordinary application traffic.
