Bug Description

Under NAV 3.6.0b6, getBoksMacs is unable to find interfaces in the database from interface names pulled from CDP caches. This is because most interface names pulled from CDP are ifDescr values, and the current code only looks at ifname values in the database.

This can reduce the quality of the derived topology, since the data is less accurate when only a connected netbox is identified, but not its corresponding port.
