The Meraki API began returning non-integer port IDs for some of its newer devices. This lead to crashes during the parsing phase of the Switch Ports Statuses check and inventory plugins. After some analysis, we have decided to skip these entries as they appear to serve only as placeholders that don't add value to our existing plugins.

There is nothing to do from the customer side outside of updating.
