What is cvnVethHostAddrType?

This indicates the address family, such as IPv4 or IPv6, of the management address reported for the VEM hosting a given VM. An admin cares because it tells you how to correctly interpret the paired host-address value when trying to reach that VEM. For example, this showing ipv4(1) tells the admin to interpret the paired address value as a 4-byte IPv4 address rather than an IPv6 one.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.710.1.1.1.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-VIRTUAL-NIC-MIB::cvnVethHostAddrType

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.710.1.1.1.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-VIRTUAL-NIC-MIB::cvnVethHostAddrType.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> cvnVethHostAddrType.1
