Minor Description
We started using some Cisco NCS Devices recently. For every single port the device has an optics port is discovered and polled. These ports are displayed and alerted in addition to the normal 1/10/100 Gig ports. This causes confusion and it is much harder to find the right port in the list of all ports. Attached I am sending a screenshot of all ports of an example device.
It is also noticeable that the ports are also arranged in a strange way. The optics are sorted from ascending, the TenGigE however descending with some unusual exceptions.

That did the trick. Thank you very much Denis!
Now it would be great if I could also fix the weird port order. Even if I click on port to sort directly by it, it doesn't fit. Then it looks like this for example:

Just include this line into your config.php to exclude those ports from discovery process.
$config['bad_if'][] = "Optics";
This ports added to common os definition ignore in r10367.
