how to get other port attributes i.e. MTU

[ghost]

Hi,

Is there a way to read port attributes like MTU/framesize, duplex mode or auto negotiation? I see such attributes on CLI but I could not find relevant interface in the C++ SDK.

Hi Hubert,
We don't currently expose these fields via EosSdk, although they are available via eAPI. Would you want to eventually react to changes on these fields, or simply looking for APIs to retrieve and modify them?

Being able to retrieve and modify them would be fantastic.

Thanks,

The next release (4.19.0, numbering is my guess) will most probably have an api to run cli commands, something like this:
eapi_response_t run_config_cmds(const std::vectorstd::string &);
std::string run_show_cmd(const std::string &)
where the response has an overall status, potential error-code & error-message, and a vector of string corresponding to each command's output, in json format.
Not as nice to use as a native interface, and no on_xxx callbacks, but sometimes it helps bridge a gap in coverage...

I don't think this is a good solution to this problem.
I would prefer a simple API function for each attribute like it is now for attributes like administration state.
