Ethernet port status on Tools Sysinfo page

[yxo-6o6uka]

My AC68 / 386.14 shows the super helpful eth port to device map on Tools -> Sysinfo page.
But AX88 / 3004.388.8_2 does not. Found why:

3004.388.4 (21-Aug-2023)
- REMOVED: Ethernet port status from the Tools Sysinfo page
(as this is redundant with Asus' own display
now available on the networkmap page).

Is there any room for reconsidering / restoring the feature?
Supporting arguments: Asus own display does not show attached devices (unless missing something, pls point if so).
I hardwired the entire house with 10+ outlets, with more wires coming to the router than ports, so once in a while have to reconnect at the router to accommodate many connected devices.
Upgraded to AX88 to get 8 ports and bummer - lost the beloved map. The router is 25ft (8m) high so confirming connectivity - ladder + up-n-down.

If restoring the feature isn't feasible - is there a command line to see the port <-> device map?

TIA!

I support restoring the feature. I really miss it. It was quick and easy to navigate. Removing it was a mistake! In the case of the GT-AXE16000, the factory solution is unusable from a mobile phone or iPad.

Showing attached devices is not possible on any of the newer switches that don't support robocfg - there's no documented way of knowing the last seen MAC. That's why it no longer made sense to maintain and support a duplicate display, which was getting increasingly complex to maintain between every separate models.

Understood. W/o a port map that sysinfo section became moot. Thx for explaining.

There is a bit of a misunderstanding here! The speed of LAN ports! This feature is missing! This is something that cannot be easily determined from an iPad or a mobile phone right now.

The speed of LAN ports!

Yes, this one on the main GUI page as well (386 firmware style):

... was much more useful than the new icons display with mouse over info.

This is unlikely to return at this time, sorry. Too many switch configuration variations these past few years, that is a major pain to manage. Lots of model-specific work required, sometime even hardware revision-specific. Ports can also be repurposed depending on which port you use as a WAN port. It`s simply too much work to implement and maintain.
