Comments = comments
Interface name = interface name
so why does ROS return an interfaces’ comments when the snmp oid for an interface name is queried?
(this was a change made several ros ago, as in v4 or v5 and doesnt make any sense)
ie: query name= via snmp, and you get the interfaces comment= , not interface name=
/interface> pr oi
Flags: D - dynamic, X - disabled, R - running, S - slave
0 R ;;; xxxxxx
name=.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.1 actual-mtu=.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.4.1
ie .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.1 should return eth1-xyz-blah not eth1’s comments.
this makes no sense, and should be changed. (causes issues with snmp monitoring, and the laborious task of renaming every snmp sensor to the correct inteface name vs the comments for that interface)
additionally, if you change the comments for an interface, now the snmp monitoring tool breaks for that interface (ie prtg will show 0/bits bc the name= has changed bc its based of the comments on the mt side)
