We have the same issue. It cannot properly discover these with JFFNMS
or MRTG's "cfgmaker" script because those old first gen Dell switches
don't display the description. I'm assuming that's what JFF uses to
differentiate. They will work with MRTG if you use the arbitrary #
associated with it.

It seems to be the fault of these switches, my "fix" has been not to
use them (the 3024's are super flaky, even with a firmware update you
can only get from Dell's tech support if you call them).
