Wrong: Neighbor Port-ID : 136 Right: Neighbor Port-Desc : 1/E8

Parsed output [{'capabilities': 'Bridge, Router', 'capabilities_enabled': 'Bridge, Router', 'chassis_desc': 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ' 'KB.16.01.0006 ' '(/ws/swbuildm/rel_beluru_qt1_qaoff/code/build/bom(swbuildm_rel_beluru_qt1_qaoff_rel_beluru_qt1))', 'chassis_id': '34:64:a9:a0:93:xx', 'chassis_name': 'K-xx-1', 'local_port': '1/1/51', 'mgmt_addr': '172.16.3.xx', 'port_desc': '1/E8', 'port_id': '136'}, {'capabilities': 'Bridge, Router', 'capabilities_enabled': 'Bridge, Router', 'chassis_desc': 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ' 'KB.16.01.0006 ' '(/ws/swbuildm/rel_beluru_qt1_qaoff/code/build/bom(swbuildm_rel_beluru_qt1_qaoff_rel_beluru_qt1))', 'chassis_id': '34:64:a9:a0:93:xx', 'chassis_name': 'K-xx-1', 'local_port': '1/1/52', 'mgmt_addr': '172.16.3.xxx', 'port_desc': '2/E8', 'port_id': '328'}]

Unfortunately vendors are doing whatever they want, without any rules. So depending on the vendor sometimes you can find the interface name as port id, sometimes in description. See get_remote_lldp_interface_label in utils, port_id has precedence over port_description. So the issue cannot be solved. We could add an additional rule, something like "if '/' in description, use description, but as you can imagine this is not a solution, only a patch. Let me know what do you think about.

Perfect. I'm fixing the CI/CD then realeasing.
