Presumably "physical interface" is meant above -- the name may have no correlation to a physical device (e.g., an IPMP IP interface). But more broadly, the expectation you state above seems quite reasonable, as an index identifies a physical interface, not a logical interface. I wonder if the cure is worse than the disease here. -- meem _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
