What is vSwitchEthernetCtrlSourceMAC?

The source MAC address to be used when this virtual switch's Ethernet-based controller sends control traffic. Admins set this to a specific MAC when the SCI control channel must present a particular hardware address.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2000.2.4.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Partition-MIB::vSwitchEthernetCtrlSourceMAC

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2000.2.4.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Partition-MIB::vSwitchEthernetCtrlSourceMAC.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2000.2.4.1.3.1 s <value>
