            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.
