LLDP interface showing with quotes

[inetman28]

Environment

• Python version: 3.6.8
• NetBox version: 2.7.8
• Napalm version: 2.3.3

Steps to Reproduce

1. Navigate to a device and click the "LLDP Neighbors" tab

Expected Behavior

I must see green line if configured interface == lldp interface

Observed Behavior

Because LLDP interface show with quotes then str did not match, for example see below screen

What does the raw API response look like? (Go to http://netbox/api/dcim/devices/<id>/napalm/?method=get_lldp_neighbors_detail in your browser see the response.)

That makes sense, then. NetBox is merely a proxy for the data returned by the NAPALM driver. Seems like a bug in the NAPALM driver to me, though it might also be something oddly platform-specific. In any case, it's not something we can fix in NetBox unfortunately.

thanks you. I opened new issue in napalm repo:
napalm-automation/napalm#1153

I have it that this will be addressed by Arista.....

LLDP thing is fixed under Bug 480042 so it should start making it to releases in the next few weeks
One caveat though is that to preserve existing behaviour (to stop changes from potentially breaking existing automation deployments) we are adding "interfaceId_v2": "Ethernet1 rather then changing interfaceId
