Description
Looking at the output of ifconfig -v
, there is more info we could be showing on status_interfaces.php.
At a minimum, on supported interfaces such as ix
, it will display information about connected SFP modules.
ix0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=e400bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,VLAN_HWTSO,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6> ether 00:XX:XX:00:00:00 hwaddr 00:XX:XX:00:00:00 inet6 fe80::XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:0%ix0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 inet X.X.X.182 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast X.X.X.255 nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> media: Ethernet autoselect (10Gbase-Twinax <full-duplex,rxpause,txpause>) status: active plugged: SFP/SFP+/SFP28 Unknown (Copper pigtail) vendor: OEM PN: SFP-10GB-CU1M SN: XXXXXXXXXXX DATE: 2011-09-26
Wireless interfaces also show much more information, though it's debatable how useful that level of detail is in this case.
status_interfaces.php uses get_interface_info()
to pull the info, which in turn pulls it from pfSense_get_interface_stats()
which is provided by the pfSense module, so this change would need to be made there.
