Marc,

I do not know about you, but when I read interface there are specific implications in my mind of what it means. To a certain extent I can see that is in this response from Manav. It means something very specific.

My point is that if you believe that by "interface information" you do not necessarily mean the interface (ifIndex) itself or that it is a fairly generic reference to an identification of a member link of LAG, then just say so. Or better still, say what it should mean. What is wrong with being more clear? If I mis-read what was meant, so will others.

Cheers.
