Hi Steve!
How do I add the interface description in this place, called an interface?

Steve busy!?
Maybe someone knows how to do it?

I'm at LISA10 in San Jose this week; I need to take a quick look at this and work out exactly what you're after

You can set the 'Long Description' and the 'Short description' for an Interface Target using the routers.cgi*Description[] and routers.cgi*ShortDesc[] directives; these have a complex chain of defaults if not explicitly set. If an Target type is 'interface' then differrent info will be listed in the summary depending on what is available.

Thank you Steve, i will be try make this!

Hi Steve!
I tried to do, but I did not get. How to add a description of the interface summary page?

Row 7500 file routers2.cgi
print "Interface name11: ".$interfaces{$curif}{ifdesc},$q->br,"\n"
print "Interface name22: ".$interfaces{$curif}{desc},$q->br,"\n"
print "Interface name33: ".$interfaces{$curif}{shdesc},$q->br,"\n"

I think the description you are referring to is the SNMP description? Probably you are using PageTop[] to get it on the normal page, and it is hardcoded in the cfg file.

In the summary page, you can set the 'withpagetop' and 'withpagefoot' extended options on the component targets to make their PageTop and/or PageFoot text get included here. It can get a bit crowded if you have a large PageTop defined! Eg:

routers.cgi*Options[xxxxx]: withpagetop
PageTop[xxxx]: Something goes in here

This will add the "Something goes in here" to the summary page for the xxxx target.

Otherwise, the Summary page will head the text with the 'long description' for the target in question. The 'short description' (the one used in the menu) is not shown.

Thanks for your help Steve, I understand you, I'll try to do .. I realized that the field snmp query Description separate script is not processed ...

Hi, salsis, were you capable of field snmp query Description separate script processing? I'm stuck at this stage.
