-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Yeah thats pretty much what I’m doing right now. Attempting to match up some interfaces and throw a valuable description on each interface. With vlan interfaces I have not been successful at anything but manual configuration thus far.

It was already merged (R223858). Looking at /etc/network.subr on a 10.0-RELEASE system shows the eval line. So, it looks like one can just add " description something cool to describe interface" to the end of the ifconfig_IF= line. Not as neat and organised as having a separate ifconfig_IF_description variable to set, but still very much workable. Thanks for the pointer in the right direction. Now to play with it at work. :) - -- Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com - -- Jason Hellenthal JJH48-ARIN -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJVtoRDAAoJEDLu+wRc4KcIZ98H/i4+B4jiyNzP9yRevwMUgg6t QH+5fwhyfAFMOwuKmtLuFhdF5yx7KjII0/I8CWhy0SrYa83vHG83kW2TRD6q8iwy fpl4HJC07ttD+mY/CtOfIhY6gh8aG/eIK7r73ctHJdPbcnIHH+qMLgrGKAA26Zmc ZKBMHu12KSbmU6B4kv4b4diKptNgFCxeF3BhHxE7edJlSyP8h1N2AFcw89TrnYb+ HhKoSbj+Qz+D4IjtNt6HXrgTUkEeoDj32QVSOWkNnCIne5/uzkgK37+DA5RnaqoB 0b4OnO6VKL6kuKjKtkjjMJw8VMK8YmphEbwEUboftmjQhb3dWjW20cdQ+DdH5zA= =Opeb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
