I would even be satisfied with a ifconfig_${IF}_descr= shorter version of it or both.


Thanks guys.

Separate ifconfig_IF_description will be simpler to use.

I was also insisting on this..

Sergey, maybe we could reconsider this stuff and add separate _description field?

 Yeah thats pretty much what I’m doing right now. Attempting to match up
 some interfaces and throw a valuable description on each interface. With
 vlan interfaces I have not been successful at anything but manual
 configuration thus far.

 Matter of fact … could someone commit this ?

 No clue why it was closed for something that is so simple to do.


 ​It was already merged (R​223858). Looking at /etc/network.subr on a
 10.0-RELEASE system shows the eval line. So, it looks like one can just
 add " description something cool to describe interface" to ​the end of the
 ifconfig_IF= line.

 Not as neat and organised as having a separate ifconfig_IF_description
 variable to set, but still very much workable.

 Thanks for the pointer in the right direction. Now to play with it at
 work. :)
