When working with ProCurve products and SNMP, we do a lot with ifIndex, standardized in the RFC 2863 IF-MIB. Of course, the physical/logical correlation of the ProCurve interfaces with the MIB ifindex entries don’t line up, ie, port A1=ifindex 1, but port B1=ifindex 25. Also, VLAN’s and loopbacks get their own entries, and those aren’t static. The best way to find out what the ifindex entry to port/VLAN map is to do a “walkmib ifdescr” from an enable prompt. I will show you every interface/VLAN/lo interface and it’s “name” in ProCurveese.
