Feature #1557
closedAdd the Interface descriptions to the OS interface descriptions
100%
Description
When configuring an interface we can specify a "description" of the interface.
Unfortunately this description is not saved into the os interface level.
Example:
re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=9b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM>
ether 00:00:de:ad:be:ef
inet 172.20.1.10 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.20.1.255
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
- ifconfig re0 description BACKBONE
- ifconfig re0
re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
description: BACKBONE
options=9b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM>
ether 00:00:de:ad:be:ef
inet 172.20.1.10 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.20.1.255
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
It would be perfect when the description is also saved into the interface in os level.
So you can use this with SNMP Tools to see the interface descriptions.

Hi Developers of pfSense.
Is there any status update of this Feature?
2 Years ago the Target version was deleted.
I just want to know if you plan to add this functionality to pfSense?

Ticket #5822 contains a patch that makes this work; along with enough sundry to have BSNMP et.al. also pick this up.

Hi there,
This would be a great feature for those who use Zabbix or similar.
Thanks
Gareth
