if64 but retrieves ifName instead of ifDescr,
because ifDescr is not useful for Brocade VDX devices. Please refer to the if64 manpage
for documentation. Item
There are three allowed ways to specify an interface: its index {ifIndex}, its description, which is taken from {ifName}, and its alias {ifAlias}.
Discovery
One service is created for each interface that fulfills configurable conditions (rule "Network interface and switch port discovery"). By default, these are interfaces which are currently found {up} and are of type 6, 32, 62, 117, 127, 128, 129, 180, 181, 182, 205 or 229. {Grouping:} In some situations, you do not want to monitor a single interface but a group of interfaces that together form a pool. This check supports such pools by defining groups. The data of all members is accumulated and put together in a single grouped interface service.
