Use ifName instead of IfDescr
Hi All
Im trying to find out if its possible to use IfName instead of ifDescr?
TP-Link TL-SG3109 switch
For some DUMB reason, all the ifDescr are being discovered as ‘Ethernet Interface’
ifDescr.1 = Ethernet Interface ifDescr.2 = Ethernet Interface ifDescr.3 = Ethernet Interface ifDescr.4 = Ethernet Interface ifDescr.5 = Ethernet Interface ifDescr.6 = Ethernet Interface ifDescr.7 = Ethernet Interface ifDescr.8 = Ethernet Interface ifDescr.9 = Ethernet Interface
So when you look down the list on Observium, I have 9 Ethernet Interface (not helpful)
I can put descriptions on each port and they get discovered by observium and show underneath the Ethernet Interface (but still not very helpful)
I have noticed however tho in the debug output of the poller, ifName are being found as the port numbers as listed on the web interface of the switch!
ifName.1 = g1 ifName.2 = g2 ifName.3 = g3 ifName.4 = g4 ifName.5 = g5 ifName.6 = g6 ifName.7 = g7 ifName.8 = g8 ifName.9 = g9
So is it possible to switch them round?
Attached is the debug output from the switch if its helpful to anyone :)
Regards
Simon
We do this on a per-os or sometimes per-model basis.
Mike probably already knows if we do per-model for tplink stuff, and where this needs to be changed.

In current Pro ifName already used for TP-Link switches (instead ifDescr).

Ok then im confused? Because its still showing ‘ifDescr’ instead of the ‘ifName’ ?
The only thing I have noticed is the IfName is in the IfXEntry output and the ifDescr is in the ifEntry output
Does that make any difference?

Thank you!
Just what I needed :)
Now to work out WHY in the interfaces panel is it showing my vlans as interfaces???

Because your device is populating ifTable with entries for the vlans.
Many devices do this, because technically there are layer 2 virtual interfaces in the vlan.
