(ASCEND) Connection --> MBID

[Phillip Vandry <vandry@Mlink.NET>]

I am wondering if anyone knows a really good way to programatically map
a frame relay connection profile name to a MBID (or rtID, or route ID)
on a TNT?

Currently I am using this method:

1. Scan the output of "ifmgr -d" to find the wan interface number
2. Use "ifmgr -d <interface>" to get the details. Read off "DLCI routeId"

Unfortunately "ifmgr -d" truncates the names of the connections so it's
not reliable for long profile names. Also I'd rather see a function that
does a lookup instead of dumping a table. TAOS must keep these mappings
internally, musn't it?

For mapping Frame Relay datalinks to route IDs, the "dumpacctsess" is not
bad, but I can't find an equivalent command at the IP layer.

(This isn't really cricitally important, of course, as my present method
works, it's just ugly. Just wanted to know if there's a better way.)

Thanks
