virtual Nw If Table

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.290.1.1.1

This table contains one entry for each local virtual interface to a VSAN or VLAN, at most one such interface per processor on a Supervisor or Line card managed by the agent. Each such processor will have an entry in the entPhysicalTable ( from ENTITY-MIB ) and will have a unique PhysicalIndex. For e.g. if Line card has 2 processors on it then each processor will have a entry in the entPhysicaltable and each will have unique PhysicalIndex. It is possible that there can be multiple VSAN's or VLAN's per processor, but the network manager can create only one virtual interface for a VSAN and only one for a VLAN per physical entity i.e. per processor on the card. Note:Processor is represented as a physical entity in the entPhysicalTable. Each such interface has a unique ifIndex assigned by the agent. When requested to create an entry in this table, the agent also creates a corresponding entry in the ifTable of IF-MIB and also an entry in the cieIfInterfaceTable of CISCO-IF-EXTENSION-MIB. Next, the agent fills in the values of virtualNwIfIndex, after which the creation of the entry in this table completes. The ciiIPIfAddressTable of CISCO-IP-IF-MIB can be used to configure the IP addresses. The ifTable and this table can be used to monitor the interface. Entries in this table are created by network managers. But the entries can be deleted either by the network managers or will be deleted by the agent if the corresponding VSAN or VLAN is deleted. An entry will be allowed to be created only if the corresponding VSAN or VLAN has been created. The ifType for an created interface of type 'vsan(1)' will be 'fibreChannel(56)' and of type 'vlan(2)' would be 'ethernetCsmacd(6)'.
