Identification of NICs in console

[webguyz]

Would be great to have an extra field in DSS to add a easy to remember name like 'LAN1', '10.0.10.1' or '10-net' instead of the same old cryptic eth1, etc. Even off to the side in addition to the standard names would be helpful. If I don't look at the console for a couple of days I find myself forgetting what is what. Of course that could just be me getting older.

LOL.
Nice idea....
And maybe you are getting older Andy I think we all are!

To-M, thanks

I agree with webguyz.
Adding some kind of short description for every ethx in console view, would be very helpful.

We have practice to rename "Local area Network Connection..." to some meaningful name in Windows - so, this could be done in Open-E DSS . too.

Yes that should make it more easy, but it is not that easy to develop that fast for all systems, as you know, our system is being used with multi kind of Operating systems also with virtual machines, and naming it could make some confusing, specially with customer who use mixed operating systems.

Couldn't you add another field in the DSS Manger called description? That would make it easy for people in DSS to see what ethernet adapter they are working with. Just an idea?

Thanks

Good idea, and not to difficult, I don't think.
I will add to the queue.... and see what happens.
