it would be soo nice to have a comment attribute in the switch CLI so i can remember why i configured that vlan.
right now everything is cool inside the “router part”, but the switch config is clunky.
i’d also have a vlan name there - similar to the interface names in routerOS.
a name what i could use to reference to VLANs as objects in other part of the switch configuration:
/interface ethernet switch vlan add name="management" vlan-id=666 comment="guess what is this" ports="ether1,ether2"
/interface ethernet switch ingress-vlan-translation add ports=ether1 new-customer-vid=management
/interface ethernet switch egress-vlan-tagging add tagged-ports=ether2 vlan-id=management
this is just for UI interaction and abstraction. of course the actual values need to be programmed into the switch chip, and i understand the consequences: when i change something in a vlan object, it needs to re-program all the stuff which is normally generated by the other config commands referencing somehow the changed vlan object.
but the comment part is piece of cake. please.
