Many op mode "show interfaces $type" commands no longer work
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG

Description

Many commands like "run show interfaces ethernet" no longer work and display an "incomplete command" error, even though they always worked and supposed to work.

  • Ethernet (missing a <command> tag).
  • PPPoE (missing non-tag node)
  • Wirelessmodem (missing non-tag node)
  • Wireguard (missing non-tag node)
  • OpenVPN (op mode "show" completely broken)
  • macsec (needs investigation)
