Thanks for sorting! They are very old but for some reason they continue to do their jobs and refuse to die :)

Hi Robert,
Thanks for catching that!
It seems we still have OSes which are returning ugly port names.
Port naming behaviour varies quite greatly between different versions of 3com baseline switches. Sometimes you have to use ifName, sometimes ifName is empty!
I've increased the field size to accomodate the broken labels for the time being.

Hi,
Since the scheduled SVN at 06:00 this morning we seem to be getting these for all of our (old, very) 3Com 2948 switches:
They occur on every poll, for every port, and are currently spamming the event log.
Anyone have any ideas? I’ve just done a forced SVN up to 6518 but it’s still occurring. My guess is it happened around 6514 which was what it was running this morning when it appears to have started.
Cheers!
