Summary

0000859: error handling: thread failed to start: Can't call method "getSecureMacAddresses" without a package or object

Description

If a switch in production is deleted, further node activity on another switch will result in a thread crash.

Here's the error message:

Nov 25 14:04:18 pfsetvlan(7): ERROR ! Unknown switch 10.128.16.230 (pf::SwitchFactory::instantiate)

Argument "" isn't numeric in numeric eq (==) at /usr/local/pf/lib/pf/SNMP.pm
        line 389 (0000001)
    (W numeric) The indicated string was fed as an argument to an operator
    that expected a numeric value instead.  If you're fortunate the message
    will identify which operator was so unfortunate.

thread failed to start: Can't call method "getSecureMacAddresses" without a
        package or object reference at /usr/local/pf//sbin/pfsetvlan line 1449 (0000002)
    (W threads)(S) The entry point function of threads->create() failed for some reason.

The problem is that we try to instantiate a switch that doesn't exist anymore only to close its locationlog entry (and set port security to a fake MAC or dissassociate or change VLAN..).

To fix:
- write test case to reproduce bug (grow our regression test suite)
- fix crasher: if switch doesn't exist close locationlog entry
- 'pfcmd switchconfig delete <IP>' should close all open locationlog entries for the deleted switch
