Hi Jurgen,
I apologize for confusion, been thinking of Port ID. Indeed, the Interface
ID is local ID and used in case of unnumbered interface as described in
section 4.7.1.3:

   Interface ID
      The identifier assigned to the link by the node specified by the Node ID.

Thus it MAY be SNMP' IfIndex , as you've pointed out. The document
leaves it to the implementation.


Regards,

Greg
