Information
This script searches for references to physical and logical interfaces under the "protocols" hierarchy and automatically copies the descriptions from the interface as "annotate" style comments.
Usage
interfaces {
xe-1/0/0 {
description "This is an example";
unit 666 {
....
}
unit 1234 {
description "Yet another example";
....
}
}
}
protocols {
isis {
interface xe-1/0/0.666;
interface xe-1/0/0.1234;
}
mpls {
interface xe-1/0/0.666;
interface xe-1/0/0.1234;
}
}
Will automatically create:
protocols {
isis {
/* This is an example */
interface xe-1/0/0.666;
/* Yet another example */
interface xe-1/0/0.1234;
}
mpls {
/* This is an example */
interface xe-1/0/0.666;
/* Yet another example */
interface xe-1/0/0.1234;
}
}
Bugs
Currently ignores references outside the scope of "protocols", such as "class-of-service". This version uses // to search for all references, but I don't currently have a way to exclude trying to set comments under the "interfaces" hierarchy where it copies the comments from. A quick workaround for this was to restrict it to the protocols hierarchy, but I'd really like to find a way to exclude the unwanted section rather than only look at part of the config.
