Little GUI Feature request for interface descriptions

[Trey]

Hi,

I love the FRR package.

But because of our own interface switches in pfSense we mixed up some interfaces in the FRR GUI. When you are in OSPF -> Interfaces you can see the pfSense interface names like opt6, but not the pfSense descriptions of them. Therefore we put in the FRR description of the interface the same names as in pfSense.

When we now rearrage interfaces in pfSense this leads to a big mix up in FRR, as of course they are not renamed.

So if we could also see the pfsense interface description next to opt6 or in an own column, it would help us a lot to not mix them up so easily! Would have helped us to avoid an 4h debug session...

Kind regards

Which pfsense ver.?
interface description is shown up in FRR OSPF in 2.5.1

@zawi FRR OSPF in 2.5.1 in the overview screen: E.g. I don't know what Interface opt2 or opt3 is, if i do not enter a description manually. It would be very helpful to show the interface description from pfsense in this screen as well. Like:

opt2 ('Description from pfSense') => opt2 (OpenVPNS1)
