Feature request: A field for interface

[Arendtsen]

A field for interface name.
This could be on a router or on a host.

This is one I have been pondering for a long time. It could be quite handy to store interface information but I don't know how to store it. Is a simple text string enough? Should there be more intelligence behind it, potentially splitting interface type (TenGigabitEth) and id (0/0/0/1)?

These days we have AVPs/extra-attributes, so you could actually use that to store your interface information, at least in the meantime.

I'd just like to note that for HA setups using VRRP or similar, you might have multiple interfaces on multiple routers.

Indeed, the same issue is present for nodes though and we have an attribute for that so I don't think it's much for an issue with introducing another field. If you do hsrp you simply need to handle it some other way.
