Automatic Cisco Interface Name Changes

On one of my Cisco routers I keep getting notified about interface name chnages when the devices havne't been touched.

I looked into this a bit more and it seems that it has a chance to randomly do any of the following interface name changes during the rediscovery interval...

Interface Name ---> Interface Name

Interface Name ---> Interface Description

Interface Description ---> Interface Name

Interface Description ---> Interface Description

Any ideas on what is causing this to happen?

Thanks in advance for any help on this!

I also see something like this...Get events indicating name change (sometimes, its just adding a second "-")..very strange.

Well, I glad to see that I am not the only person seeing this problem. I am running NPM 9.5 SP2.

This problem is very annoying on the one device as it is generating a lot of unncessary events (noise), I am really concerned what this problem will look like as I begin to add the rest of my gear to Orion.
