SNMP access

[julien.lephay]

Hi,

I need to access with SNMP to the description field associated to an interface. The field im looking isn't ifdescr, its the field called "description" that you can see when you do a show interface.

Thx to tell me if I can access it via snmp, and if yes how.

Julien.

You want ifAlias.

Or "ifName" for PIX/ASA.

snmpwalk device-name ifAlias/ifName

or

snmpget device-name (ifAlias/ifName).ifIndex#

Thx. Alias is exactly what I was looking for.
