    SNMP interface aliases
    Dear all,
    I have question about "SNMP IFALIAS" of interface, what is it about?
    And how I configure it?

    I receive order from HPOV admin;since she wants to see my router via HPOV
    And asked me to configure interface alias. The full order is:


    i want you to modify the "SNMP IFALIAS" for each interface based on the following schema:

    [MG][L2|L3|MPLS][DESTINATION]

    {MGL2SDESTINATION, MGL3DESTINATION, MGMPLSDESTINATION}

    MG: abbreviation for flag management
    L2: Layer 2 connectivity
    L3: Layer 3 Connectivity
    MPLS: Multiprotocol Label Switching
    DESTINATION: Connection Destination


    Examples:

    Router1 has a layer 3 interface that is connected to Router2
    MGL3ROUTER2

    Router1 has a layer 2 interface that is connected to a customer Customer1
    MGL2CUSTOMER1

    Router1 has an MPLS featured interface that is connected to a customer Customer1
    MGMPLSCUSTOMER1



    Who can help me??

    SNMP typically reads the Interface Name (ie. GigabitEthernet0/1) for this information. If you have assigned a description or name to the interface, then it should pick that up as the ifALIAS information instead. VLAN's will have a NAME associated with them when they are created. Interfaces do not. The ifALIAS and ifNAME values should be basically the same if one is used.

    Try the following:
    ENABLE
    CONFIG T
    INT G0/0 (or what ever interface you are chaning)
    DESCRIPTION MGL3ROUTER2 (example from your post)
    EXIT
    DO SHOW RUN

    Review the change above.

    If you have already configured the SNMP- SERVER RO community name, then have your people rescan the router for the change.
