Interface Information

Below is documented how a driver should set information about device interfaces, and where it shows.

This typically is loaded when the driver’s get_my_basic_info() function is called. I.e. This is when a driver is called from the view.py URL handling functions.

The Interface() class is used to store interface information. See the definition in openl2m/switches/connect/classes.py

Where It Shows

This shows under the ‘Interfaces’, ‘Bulk Edit’ and ‘Arp/LLDP’ tabs, and are rendered in the file templates/_tab_if_basics.html, templates/_tab_if_bulkedit.html and templates/_tab_if_arp_lldp.html

These templates include a few other templates to standardize the viewing of several attributes of an Interface:

templates/_tab_if_name shows the interface name, with color for Up / Down state. This file includes templates/_tpl_if_type_icons.html, which adds several icons indicating Trunked mode, VRF member, and more.

Finally, the link column is displayed using templates/_tab_if_linkspeed, which defines the HMTL used to show link speed (if up), or maximum interface speed if down.
