My device has 26 ports (24x1G, 2x10G) + 1 management port (pretty usual configuration) and these ports are not accessible via standard Linux (except mgmt port) but only by accessing hardware or using special software. I will not need to implement all values of ifTable simply because I do not have them (like Multicast) So I think I need to completely replace the ifTable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The demand for IT networking professionals continues to grow, and the demand for specialized networking skills is growing even more rapidly.
