Hi, Interface ids are used by the router to uniquely identify its interfaces. Human-readable names (e.g., port7) can be associated to these ids.
You can get id-to-name associations from the CLI of your router of via SNMP for example. Via SNMP you can walk the IF-MIB as follow: [simone@develv5 ntopng]$ snmpwalk -v2c -c XXXXX 192.168.2.1 ifName IF-MIB::ifName.1 = STRING: lo IF-MIB::ifName.2 = STRING: eth0 IF-MIB::ifName.3 = STRING: eth1 IF-MIB::ifName.4 = STRING: eth2 IF-MIB::ifName.5 = STRING: imq0 Response is IF-MIB::ifName.<ID> = STRING: <NAME> Simone > On 8 Oct 2018, at 10:43, Mark Hemsley <[email protected]> wrote: > > I have enabled network interface disaggregation using ‘interface’ and I can > now see 8 new interfaces e.g. (tcp://*:5556c <tcp://*:5556c> [If Idx: 9]), > (tcp://*:5556c <tcp://*:5556c> [If Idx: 10]) etc > > I’d like to change the custom name to something more readable, e.g, > rtr01-port7, is there a way to understand what e.g. ldx:9 relates to in > relation to the real router interfaces so I can rename appropriately? > > Cheers > > Mark > Mark Hemsley ‑ Senior Network Engineer > [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > +441252936021 <tel:+441252936021> / +44 7780 000 196 > <tel:+44%207780%20000%20196> > www.ukcloud.com <http://www.ukcloud.com/> > <image203050.png> <http://www.ukcloud.com/> > A8, Cody Technology Park, Ively Road , Farnborough , GU14 0LX > <image327959.png> <https://twitter.com/ukcloudltd> > <image912801.png> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/ukcloud-ltd> > <image892097.png> <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnlFUyOWcS4iE_HK-ZEcNGw> > <image522932.png> <https://plus.google.com/+UKCloudltd> > <image033881.jpg> <https://ukcloud.com/> > Notice: This message contains information that may be privileged or > confidential and is the property of UKCloud Ltd.
