Mapping

The interface names and physical location of the particular interface are the output of this command. The output is split at the colon character (:) line by line; the first part is the interface name and the last is the physical location. A physical location is not always present, for example, it is not set for the SEA and Link Aggregation Interface. The physical location value is used to create a link from the physical NIC to the I/O slot.

Example: ioscli entstat -all 'ent16'| grep -E "ETHERNET STATISTICS|Device Type|Hardware Address

Output

ETHERNET STATISTICS (ent16) :
Device Type: Shared Ethernet Adapter
Hardware Address: 00:1B:64:91:74:55
ETHERNET STATISTICS (ent14) :
Device Type: EtherChannel

ETHERNET STATISTICS (ent2) :
Device Type: 2-Port 10/100/1000 Base-TX PCI-X Adapter (14108902)
Hardware Address: 00:1B:64:91:74:55
ETHERNET STATISTICS (ent4) :
Device Type: Virtual I/O Ethernet Adapter (l-lan)
Hardware Address: 46:61:fa:d4:bf:0b

Mapping

UCMDB Version 8.0x: There cannot be two interfaces with the same MAC on a single machine. In this case the MAC Address attribute for the first interface only takes the value of the MAC address, while the other interfaces contain an underscore (_) and interface index. For example, for the above output interface ent0 is reported with MAC Address set to 00:1B:64:91:74:55 while interface ent2 is reported with MAC Address set to 00:1B:64:91:74:55_2.

UCMDB Version 9.0x: This limitation is not relevant so the topology is reported as is.

Example: ioscli lsdev -dev 'ent16' -attr

Output

attribute value description user_settable

Mapping

The adapter_names attribute value is used to create links to the back-up devices.

The value of Media Speed represents both Duplex and the connection Speed.
