What is vSwitchVLinkType?

Specifies the layer-2 link type (e.g. Ethernet, ATM) that the two virtual ports on this synthetic connection will appear to be, letting admins model the internal virtual link as whichever media type the connected virtual switches expect.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2000.2.17.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Partition-MIB::vSwitchVLinkType

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2000.2.17.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Partition-MIB::vSwitchVLinkType.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2000.2.17.1.6.1 i <value>
