https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D206217 Bug ID: 206217 Summary: bsnmpd should use the value set by "ifconfig <if> description <desc>" in ifAlias Product: Base System Version: 10.2-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: peter@pean.org Most managed switches have the ability to set a descriptive name on interfa= ces. These descriptive names are fetchable via snmp and ifAlias. Many networking monitoring tools use this heavily. It would be very useful if bsnmpd adopted the same behavior and used the description set with ifconfig <if> description <desc> for the ifAlias. I have found that this is set in /usr/src/contrib/bsnmp/snmp_mibII/mibII_interfaces.c:531 but since Im no programmer I have no idea how to populate it correctly. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
