Translate port ID on Info page #3504

Closed veedubbs closed 5 years ago

veedubbs commented 6 years ago

Currently, on the Info tab the port shows the generic SNMP number:

info-port

But on the Location tab, it shows the more useful (actual) port number:

location-port

Can the Info tab show the actual port number as well?

Hello @veedubbs, what switch/AP module do you use ? Is it specific to that switch/AP module ?

veedubbs commented 6 years ago

@nqb This specific switch is using the HP::Procurve_5400 switch module. As it truly is a 5400 model, I went ahead and changed the switch type to Aruba::5400 as a test, and the problem still exists (I'm not sure if I had to refresh anything after doing so...(I didn't)).

Does that help? Or do you need more detail?

julsemaan commented 6 years ago

Its actually because we only show the ifIndex column in the info tab but we show the ifDesc as well in the location tab.

Easy to add, probably just laziness from the person who coded the feature. I know that, because its me :)

@nqb

You can look at this if you have time

julsemaan commented 5 years ago

After looking into it, it seems that the description is displayed in the node view summary in the latest release.

Is this still an issue on your deployment ? Otherwise I'll close this.

veedubbs commented 5 years ago

It is no longer an issue in my environment. Thanks!
