Bug ID: 206217
Summary: bsnmpd should use the value set by "ifconfig <if>
description <desc>" in ifAlias
Product: Base System
Version: 10.2-RELEASE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin

Most managed switches have the ability to set a descriptive name on interfaces.
These descriptive names are fetchable via snmp and ifAlias. Many networking
monitoring tools use this heavily.
It would be very useful if bsnmpd adopted the same behavior and used the
description set with ifconfig <if> description <desc> for the ifAlias.
I have found that this is set in
/usr/src/contrib/bsnmp/snmp_mibII/mibII_interfaces.c:531 but since Im no
programmer I have no idea how to populate it correctly.
