There is no need to have any config on it. + NVE interface is not needed if MACSEC is used as in that scenario we have SNMP indexes assigned to "Ethx/y-Ctrl" interfaces and those "Eth x/y-Ctrl" interfaces are having indexes lower than sub-interface index(with number higher than 511). Due to that facts request may fail because sub-interface index is requested earlier.

Workaround

+ Avoid using sub-interfaces higher than 511 + Skip "ifindex" object in snmp requests
