Number one is the position in the list and ID is the hexadecimal location of the real position in the list. So you have different vectors for the same line.

I was wrong on this and I was looking at the general ID and this one is specific for interfaces.

I rewrite my script to work just only with name of interface, but it will be good to have something to grep id of interface via get. But thanks anyway
