Is there something like "bad_ifalias" ?
Hi everyone, the company where I work is an ISP and they have big routers like MX-960 and ASR-9010.This devices supports thousands of interfaces and we use it to connect to our customers.I would like to know whether is possible to ignore our customers interfaces based on ifAlias like we do with ifDesc (bad_if)?Thank you!

Hi Habner,
Normally I'd say this is a bad idea, because more information is always better. But, well, no one ever seems to want to listen to me :)
It's also worth mentioning that this won't really affect polling times, since we use snmpbulkwalk, which isn't discriminatory.
If there isn't a way of doing this, it's probably trivially easy for us to add if you really want it.

Hi Adam, thank you for the answer. I understand this filter won't change polling times, but my problem is in client side.Imagine when my users click on "Ports" when we have about 3500 ports per device, their browser simply freezes.I really appreciate if you add this option.Thank you very much Hábner

Adam, another solution for who dont want to ignore any alias, iftype or ifdesc is add paging on page "Ports", like you do on "All Ports".
