Vnic¶

class oci.core.models.Vnic(**kwargs)¶

Bases: object

A virtual network interface card. Each VNIC resides in a subnet in a VCN. An instance attaches to a VNIC to obtain a network connection into the VCN through that subnet. Each instance has a primary VNIC that is automatically created and attached during launch. You can add secondary VNICs to an instance after it’s launched. For more information, see Virtual Network Interface Cards (VNICs).

Each VNIC has a primary private IP that is automatically assigned during launch. You can add secondary private IPs to a VNIC after it’s created. For more information, see create_private_ip() and IP Addresses.

If you are an Oracle Cloud VMware Solution customer, you will have secondary VNICs that reside in a VLAN instead of a subnet. These VNICs have other differences, which are called out in the descriptions of the relevant attributes in the Vnic object. Also see Vlan.

To use any of the API operations, you must be authorized in an IAM policy. If you’re not authorized, talk to an administrator. If you’re an administrator who needs to write policies to give users access, see Getting Started with Policies.

The value is the hostname portion of the primary private IP’s fully qualified domain name (FQDN) (for example, bminstance1 in FQDN bminstance1.subnet123.vcn1.oraclevcn.com). Must be unique across all VNICs in the subnet and comply with RFC 952 and RFC 1123.

lifecycle_state¶

[Required] Gets the lifecycle_state of this Vnic. The current state of the VNIC.

Allowed values for this property are: “PROVISIONING”, “AVAILABLE”, “TERMINATING”, “TERMINATED”, ‘UNKNOWN_ENUM_VALUE’. Any unrecognized values returned by a service will be mapped to ‘UNKNOWN_ENUM_VALUE’.

Returns:	The lifecycle_state of this Vnic.
Return type:	str

mac_address¶

Gets the mac_address of this Vnic. The MAC address of the VNIC.

If the VNIC belongs to a VLAN as part of the Oracle Cloud VMware Solution, the MAC address is learned. If the VNIC belongs to a subnet, the MAC address is a static, Oracle-provided value.

Example: 00:00:00:00:00:01

Returns:	The mac_address of this Vnic.
Return type:	str

nsg_ids¶

Gets the nsg_ids of this Vnic. A list of the OCIDs of the network security groups that the VNIC belongs to.

If the VNIC belongs to a VLAN as part of the Oracle Cloud VMware Solution (instead of belonging to a subnet), the value of the nsgIds attribute is ignored. Instead, the VNIC belongs to the NSGs that are associated with the VLAN itself. See Vlan.

For more information about NSGs, see NetworkSecurityGroup.

Returns:	The nsg_ids of this Vnic.
Return type:	list[str]

Example: {“Oracle-DataSecurity-ZPR”: {“MaxEgressCount”: {“value”:”42”,”mode”:”audit”}}}

Returns:	The security_attributes of this Vnic.
Return type:	dict(str, dict(str, object))

skip_source_dest_check¶

Gets the skip_source_dest_check of this Vnic. Whether the source/destination check is disabled on the VNIC. Defaults to false, which means the check is performed. For information about why you would skip the source/destination check, see Using a Private IP as a Route Target.

If the VNIC belongs to a VLAN as part of the Oracle Cloud VMware Solution (instead of belonging to a subnet), the skipSourceDestCheck attribute is true. This is because the source/destination check is always disabled for VNICs in a VLAN.

Example: true

Returns:	The skip_source_dest_check of this Vnic.
