SUMMARY

Nearly all Network OS report a short name for interfaces. It would be useful for interface_split or a similar filter to spit such short names out given a full interface name.

EXPECTED RESULTS

{{ 'Ethernet1/1' | interface_split('shortname') }} returns 'Et1/1' {{ 'Loopback0' | interface_split('shortname') }} returns 'Lo0' {{ 'TenGigabitEthernet1/0/1' | interface_split('shortname') }} returns 'Te1/0/1' {{ 'Tunnel1' | interface_split('shortname') }} returns 'Tu1'
