Some SNMP devices report ifAdminStatus and ifOperStatus as textual labels (for example up, down, notPresent) instead of the numeric states defined in the IF-MIB. When the hardware/software inventory parser tried to convert the textual value to an integer it crashed with ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10.

The parser now maps the known IF-MIB text labels back to their numeric state values, so inventory is collected correctly for these devices.
