  found = 0

  columns = ["Interface","Link", "Speed","Duplex", "Type", "PVID", "Description"]

  For each_line in trigger_output.split("\n"):

  found = 1

  continue

  if found == 1:

  local_port = each_line.split()[0].strIP()

  if local_port.find('/') != -1 and (local_port.lower().startswith('fe') or local_port.lower().startswith('ge') or local_port.lower().startswith('gi') or local_port.lower().startswith('fi') or local_port.lower().startswith('te') or local_port.lower().startswith('eth')):

  trigger_result.append(local_port)
