Hi All,
Just a quick question, Is it possible using the MTE to convert an external attribute, into an internal one? We want to convert the ifAlias attribute from an external attribtue into an internal one (so that instead of querying an attribute on-demand - as an external attribute would do by default, we have it in memory so queries are much faster).
Is this possible and/or feasable? We have circuit info and/or other info in these ifAliases for interfaces and it would be great to be able to find out which circuit numbers are on which interfaces.
Also if it is possible, how would I get spectrum to update this info (e.g. every 24 hours)? Is this something that is possible without breaking anything? Is it better to just get new attribute in MTE (seems a waste?).
I realise this will increase the memory and/or disk space requirement but we are ok with that. If this works for ifAlias, I'd probably consider doing this with other attributes too, as we use Spectrum as our MoM.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Frank
