Sure. I don't have Alcatel devices to test, and we get burned way too often trusting people who tell us how to do things without examples 
If you can test it outputs sane stuff on a couple of different devices/versions, all the better!
Hi Tim,
IfAlias has blank entries in the snmp-ports.txt and does not match your examples. Adam, did you want me to modify the patch per your suggestion to use ifName?
It seems we should use ifName, then parse the alias from ifDescr. Better not to parse the name from ifdescr too, since we don't seem to need to.
For example purposes they need to be the output of snmp commands, otherwise no one will trust them in future :>
Don't know why charris wants this, but I have examples:
| Port id | IifDescr | ifName | ifAlias |
|---|---|---|---|
| 35684352 | 1/1/1, 10-Gig Ethernet, \"FREE\" | 1/1/1 | FREE |
| 35717120 | 1/1/2, 10-Gig Ethernet, \"FREE\" | 1/1/2 | FREE |
| 201359360 | A/1, 10/100 Ethernet TX | A/1 | 10/100 Ethernet TX |
| 234913792 | B/1, 10/100 Ethernet TX | B/1 | 10/100 Ethernet TX |
Please put some comments showing example ifDescrs above the code so people know what it's for.
You can see examples of this sort of thing in the os pollers.
Can confirm that this solution worked for Nokia 7710 SAS-SX (Alcatel Lucent TIMOS)
