NetBox version

v3.3.8

Python version

3.9

Steps to Reproduce

View LLDP Neighbors on an ArubaOS (Not CX) device

Expected Behavior

See interface name.

Observed Behavior

We see the interface snmp oid as the remote_port. Here is some json from the api response. I'd like to see the remove_port_description and let netbox compare against that.

			"remote_chassis_id": "b8 d4 e7 63 e9 e5",
			"remote_port": "106",
			"remote_port_description": "2/10",
			"remote_system_description": "Aruba JL075A 3810M-16SFP+-2-slot Switch, revision KB.16.11.0003, ROM KB.16.01.0009 (/ws/swbuildm/rel_beluru_qaoff/code/build/bom(swbuildm_rel_beluru_qaoff_rel_beluru))",

			],
			"remote_system_enable_capab": [

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Dec 15, 2022):

This looks like something that would need to be changed in the underlying NAPALM driver, as remote_port should convey the name of the connected interface as it does for every other platform. In any case, the NAPALM functionality is slated to be split off into a plugin for NetBox v3.5 (see #10520), so no further feature work will be started for it in NetBox core.
