Re: [Netdisco] Port names with spaces in them

[Scott H. <sco...@as...>]

Jethro,
  Thanks for helping me escape a bit of tunnel vision.  Escaping the hash in the topo file results in the following:

[root@netdisco netdisco]# ./netdisco -T
n e t  d i s c o
--------------------------------------------------
Loading Topology from file: /usr/local/netdisco/netdisco-topology.txt...
    !topo_add_link() - 10.11.254.252 (10.11.254.252) / 31 has discovered neighbor 10.11.254.203 / Port8 which conflicts with forced info of 10.11.254.203 (10.11.254.203) / Port #8
    !topo_add_link() - 10.11.254.252 (10.11.254.252) / 31 has discovered neighbor 10.11.254.203 / Port8 which conflicts with forced info of 10.11.254.203 (10.11.254.203) / Port #8

  Whereas previously I have tried "Port8" in the topo file with these results:

[root@netdisco netdisco]# ./netdisco -T
n e t  d i s c o
--------------------------------------------------
Loading Topology from file: /usr/local/netdisco/netdisco-topology.txt...
    !topo_add_link() -  Topology file error! Source Port Doesn't exist in this link : 10.11.254.203 (10.11.254.203) / Port8 --> 10.11.254.252 (10.11.254.252) / 31
    !topo_add_link() -  Topology file error! Destination Port Doesn't exist in this link : 10.11.254.252 (10.11.254.252) / 31 --> 10.11.254.203 (10.11.254.203) / Port8

  So now I am thinking that on these little HP switches, the port naming isn't consistent between LLDP and SNMP and that is causing the conflict.  Will verify later today.
