Cool, my misunderstanding.

I think you have these references wrong?
Both of these use the same backend code and neither touch the macaddress
table. I suspect you mean:
http://git.io/dmWA6g and http://git.io/7ZPmUw updates switchports table
to ge-0/0/0
Where as:
updates macaddress table discovers macaddresses at ge0/0/0.0?
Now, looking at the SNMP dump you posted previously
(https://gist.github.com/pdxmaverick/6597601), it looks like Juniper are
reporting ifDescriptions (switchport.name) such as:
.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.602 = STRING: "ge-0/0/2"
.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.603 = STRING: "ge-0/0/2.0"
and ifNames (switchport.ifName) as:
.1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1.602 = STRING: "ge-0/0/2"
.1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1.603 = STRING: "ge-0/0/2.0"
It's not important that these are the same but it is important that
these appear to be two references to the same port?
I suspect that when adding these switches in IXP Manager you're also
looking at a port entry for ge-0/0/2 and ge-0/0/2.0?

PS: if anyone is wondering why ifDesc is confusingly named 'name' in the
switchport database, it's an unfortunate legacy that would be a boat
load of work to change.
