We endeavor to make 'port number' work and disregard trunk ports and such, however if you have an issue you can always use the full name as given in IF-MIB instead of just the number.
Walking 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1 should show you what sort of names might go into switch.port to guarantee being unambiguous.

We are having a problem where autodiscovery is seeing the node on the trunk port of one of the earlier switches and assigning it to the wrong name. The four switches are named: tx4-01-sw26 through tx4-01-sw29 SNMP is on Spanning tree is configured and all ports that connect to nodes are set as edge ports. Here is the definition for node h328 which is the node we are testing with: Object name: h328 switch=tx4-01-sw29 switchport=31 After this boots up and goes through discovery it shows up as node h253. I ran through the snmp queries and found out that tx4-01-sw26 shows this on Trk1 which is a trunked set of 10Gbit lines to the main switch. Here is the definition for h253: Object name: h253 switch=tx4-01-sw26 switchport=1 So it does find the MAC on tx4-01-sw26 but it is coming over the trunks and this is where it detects it first and xCAT sets it to node h253. Any clues on what I may have set up wrong? Is there a way to tell xCAT to exclude these trunked ports?
