Display ifAlias not ifDescr in webUI

Help
1

Is it possible to change the WebUI to display Ports using their ifAlias ot ifName instead of ifDescr?

The reason is that Avaya ERS switches ifDescr is really long, and I would prefer to be able to set the name in the switch, (this changes ifAlias), and have this display.

Here is an example:

I want to just display the highlighted info as the port name.

At the moment this is what I get on the Overview page of every ERS switch:

Which is not great.

I’ve searched the Docs and this forum and I cannot find anything about this.

Thanks

If this is something that should be globally set then add this to the yaml file:

ifname: 1

Otherwise for your install only then in config.php: $config['os']['avaya-ers']['ifname'] = true;

I think it would be better in every case, but will try on my install first.

Thanks,

Yep, this is better:

You get the same info as ifDescr, but it’s much easier to read.

I’ll submit a PR.

Hi,

Just related to this, I would like to set the ifDesc instead of the actual interface. Similar to to:

$config[‘force_ip_to_sysname’] = true;

but rather than the interface I would like the description to be displayed, how can I go about this?

Thanks
