Hi Nick, Thanks for the feedback. Comments inline.

I'll look into the snmp issue, but at lease we now do show the description in the various "show interface" commands (although it didn't make the cut for alpha1). We now also default to a "brief" style output if the command could show multiple interfaces. For example: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ show interfaces Interface IP Address State Link Description br0 - up up bridge eth0 and eth1 eth0 172.16.117.15/24 up up Link to Internet eth0 6.9.9.9/32 up up Link to Internet eth0.100 - up up Switch to vlan 100 eth0.200 - up up Switch to vlan 200 eth1 15.0.0.15/24 up up eth2 2.2.2.3/24 admin down down Testing eth2 172.16.139.15/24 admin down down Testing eth3 - up up lo 127.0.0.1/8 up up tun0 10.0.0.1/24 up up GRE tunnel over IPSEC [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ show interfaces ethernet eth0 eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000 link/ether 00:0c:29:1a:08:62 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 172.16.117.15/24 brd 172.16.117.255 scope global eth0 inet 6.9.9.9/32 scope global eth0 inet6 fe80::20c:29ff:fe1a:862/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever Last clear: Thu Feb 14 11:45:22 PST 2008 Description: Link to Internet RX: bytes packets errors dropped overrun mcast 775 11 0 0 0 0 TX: bytes packets errors dropped carrier collisions 1972 19 0 0 0 0 Any thoughts on that as a default? In the detailed output you can see the description and you might notice the "Last clear" which means we've added a "clear counters" command. > - You don't seem to be able to use "run" to execute some commands from > inside config mode.

I think we decided to make the "?" the default in the next release. For now you can add ~/.inputrc with: $if Bash "?": "\C-i" $endif To get that functionality. stig _______________________________________________ Vyatta-users mailing list Vyatta-users@mailman.vyatta.com http://mailman.vyatta.com/mailman/listinfo/vyatta-users
