No idea how your particular Switch works, but 3com uses the port numbering 
scheme of UnitPort, making port 5 on unit 2 show as port number 205. You 
need to investigate how Dell do it. 
How, you ask.
Walk the Mib tree (eg using GetIf), and look at the ifDescr and ifType for 
each port number. You will see which are actual ports and which are 
monitoring of VLANs, serial ports and other things.
Then you will see which you are interested in, and which you wish to 
ignore
