What is vmwVmNetConnType?

An obsolete field the MIB explicitly says not to use — its DESCRIPTION instructs an agent implementation to discard this value if returned, so an admin should ignore it entirely and not build any monitoring logic around it.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.2.4.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-VMINFO-MIB::vmwVmNetConnType

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.2.4.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-VMINFO-MIB::vmwVmNetConnType.1
