#now for the lldp fun.  lldp mib uses yet another index.  The mib states
#that the index should correlate to dot1dbaseport, however
#limits the index to 4096 while dot1dbaseport can go much higher
#confirmed on various switches that this index cannot be numerically correlated
#to if-mib in a reliable fashion immediately for all switches
#LldpPortIdSubtype dictates the format
#in order of preference on subtype:
#if 5, then portid==ifName (my favorite, least work, no further lookups)
#if 3, then may be able to link into IF-MIB via ifPhysAddress matching more reliably
#if 7, then it may be anything at all, portDesc may be best option when encounterd, though occasionally looks like a 5.  In the cases where it looks like a 5,
#portdesc seems usable too.
#detailed switch by switch results below
#on Force10, the following happens:
#   -index violates mib by going over max value
#   -subtype is 5, meaning portid should be == ifName, usable
#   -lldpPortDesc is blank, cannot be used
#on juniper:
#   -index violates mib by not matching dot1dbaseport
#   -lldpPortId is 'helpfully', the index in ascii form (gee thanks), useless example of type 7
#   -lldpPortDesc looks like "ge-1/0/43.0",only hope.
#bigiron, fcx, turboiron, :
#   -lldpPortId is a 3 mac address
#   --lldpportdesc looks useful 10GigabitEthernet6/6
#netiron ces: no support
#cisco ios:
#   -the portid is == ifname
#   subtype is 5 or 7, but either way it acts like 5
#   -portdesc == ifdesc, useful for when 7 is seen for fallback
#
#voltaire 10ge: no support
#
#bnt g8124 and 8052
#   -subtype of 7
#   -the index, portid, and portdesc are all the same (i.e. 18="18"="18")

#smc 8848:
#   -subtype of 3, hex mac string
#   -portdesc matches ifDesc, no mapping to ifName
#smc 8126: no support for lldp mib
#ibm b32l: no support

MacMap attempts to do it's best to determine whether or not a particular SNMP description of
a port matches the user specified value in the configuration.  Generally, if the configuration
consists of non-stacked switches without line cards, the user should only need to specify the
port number without any characters or / characters.  If the configuration contains line cards 
or stacked switches, use of that particular switch's appropriate / syntax in generally called 
for.  The exception being stacked SMC 8848 switches, in which all ports are still single 
numbers, and the ports on the second switch begin at 57.

If difficulty is encountered, or a switch is attempted with a format that doesn't match any 
existing rule, it is recommended to use snmpwalk on the switch with the .1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1
OID, and have the switch table port value match exactly the format suggested by that OID.
