Hello All!
I am using zebra for years and asked myself always why I cannot "alias"
an IP. I always have to config like this:
sh ip bg IP.NUM.OF.PEER
With growing number of peers I cannot remember the IPs by hard.
I cannot imagine that there is no way to create some kind of "alias" or
"peer name", but couldn't find a solution to my problem.
I imagine it like this:
configure terminal
router bgp 64001
neigbor 192.0.0.1 alias peer-to-some-isp
OR that
configute terminal
alias IP.NUM.B.ER peer-to-some-isp
and THEN
sh ip bg peer-to-some-isp
If this not an ip -> quagga "resolves" the name to IP itself.
A "reverse resolving" would be nice too, but the forward way would save
me much time by typeing "sh ip bg su" to get the neigbors ip.
Rgds,
j.
