Switch Ports showing up twice

I recently created a query that helps me identify switch ports with no traffic in the last 3 months. The data is exported from SolarWinds to an Excel spreadsheet.

In my Main office, each switch port seems to be listed twice:

Muscatine	GigabitEthernet0/1	HB1-3560E-1.stanley.com	2981	GigabitEthernet0/1 - Gi0/1
Muscatine	GigabitEthernet0/1	HB1-3560E-1.stanley.com	4568	GigabitEthernet0/1 - Gi0/1

The interface id's a different though (2981 and 4568).

Does anyone know why some of my switches would have the same port listed twice?

I'm running NPM 10.1.1

Thanks,

Jamie

If the interface ID is changing then the query will select these as 2 seperate incidences. Can you remove that field and still get the information you need?

Hi, Thank you for the response. I can remove that field from my query but I'm just wondering why in one of my offices the interfaces show up twice and in the others they don't. Can I get it to where each port on these switches only had one interface id? I guess I don't understand why they have 2 interface id's for one switch port.

Thanks again,

Jamie
