Description
This MIB module defines MIB objects which provide mechanisms to manage the parameters used by or related to Virtual NIC. Virtual switch extends across one or more virtualization servers which host the VM instances. Each virtualization server is represented as a line card module and is assigned to a unique slot in the virtual chassis. All the ports on the virtual switch which can be hooked up to VM VNICs or to special hypervisor ports (e.g. vmk or vswif ports) are represented as virtual ethernet interfaces. Virtual ethernet interfaces(veths) represent the switching ports on the virtual switch which provide networking connectivity to virtual packet based interfaces such as the Virtual NIC (VNIC) interfaces defined on a Virtual Machine (VM). These interfaces are configurable and provide operational information to the network administrator. The assignment of virtual ethernet interface ports to a VM does not change when the VM is migrated. Glossary: APC - Asymmetric Port Channel DVS - Distributed Virtual switch NIC - Network Interface Card NIV - Network interface virtualization PCI - Peripheral Component Interconnect VEM - Virtual Ethernet Module VNIC - Virtual Network Interface Card VSM - Virtual Supervisor Module VM - Virtual Machine VMK - Virtual Machine Kernel VMKNIC - Virtual Machine Kernel Network Interface Card VSWIF - a virtual management port on hosts running VMware ESX. UUID - Universally Unique identifier connectee - Entity connected to a system using veth. eg: Virtual machine System Diagram : ************** * VSM * ************** ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ******** ******** * VEM * * VEM * ******** ******** ' ' ' ' ' ' ****** ****** ****** * VM * * VM * * VM * ****** ****** ******

| cvnVethOwner OBJECT-TYPE The name of the Virtual Machine that owns this virtual ethernet interface. When a Virtual Machine attaches to one of the port in physical server via this virtual ethernet interface, this VM will be considered as the owner of this virtual ethernet interface.

| cvnVethHostID OBJECT-TYPE A unique identifier, assigned by the system, of the registered VEM.

| cvnPinningTable OBJECT-TYPE A list of virtual ethernet interfaces which supports pinning functionality in VSM. Pinning is a mechanism of directing traffic to or from a interface through a particular interface in a switch. By default, system use load balancing algorithm to pick the best possible physical interface automatically. However, user may use pinning functionality to instrument the finite control on the traffic flow between virtual ethernet interfaces and actual physical interfaces in VSM. For example, user may want to configure that packets from a particular virtual ethernet interface always go out through first interface in the port channel irrespective of load balancing policy on the switch. In order to achieve this, user can pin the virtual ethernet interface to first interface of the switch. | 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.710.1.1.2 | not-accessible | current | |
| cvnPinningEntry OBJECT-TYPE An entry containing pinning management information for a particular virtual ethernet interface. Entry is created by the system when a virtual Ethernet interface with pinning functionality is registered to VSM. Entry is removed when a virtual Ethernet interface with pinning functionality is removed from VSM. | 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.710.1.1.2.1 | not-accessible | current | |
| cvnPinnedSubGrpId OBJECT-TYPE This object indicates the sub-group ID to which virtual ethernet interface is pinned. This object returns negative vlaue (-1) if subgroup id is not assigned. | 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.710.1.1.2.1.1 | Integer32 (-1..2147483647) | read-write | current |
