What is vmwVmNetConnected?

Reports whether this virtual NIC is currently connected to the virtual machine (as opposed to present but disconnected in the VM's hardware settings); an admin checks this when a VM has network connectivity issues to rule out a simply-disconnected virtual adapter.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.2.4.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> VMWARE-VMINFO-MIB::vmwVmNetConnected

Get a specific instance (index 1):
