"Labeling(Description) Interfaces" - Huzeyfe Önal - (2006-07-12 11:48:55) [3311]

In OpenBSD you can add description your interface to specify which interface do what?

For example,

My firewall has 4 interface and i want to know what's fxp1 interface function?

i can add description to interface with ifconfig.

#ifconfig fxp1 description WEB_DMZ

to clear the description use

#ifconfig fxp1 -description
