We are having problems getting discovery to find all the interfaces on
several Dell PowerConnect 3024 and PowerConnect 3048 switches.  Discovery
only finds the TCP ports and does not find any interfaces at all.  Discovery
works fine on all our Cisco switches and Dell 3300, 3400, and 5300 series
switches.  Manually running snmpwalk from the prompt on the server that is
running JFFNMS discovers all the interfaces okay.  The only odd thing I see
when comparing snmpwalk's output between the 3000 series and the newer
switches is that no string is returned for the interface description:

Dell 3048 Output:
ifDescr.1 = STRING:
ifDescr.2 = STRING:
ifDescr.3 = STRING:
ifDescr.4 = STRING:
ifDescr.5 = STRING:
ifDescr.6 = STRING:
ifDescr.7 = STRING:
ifDescr.8 = STRING:
ifDescr.9 = STRING:

Dell 3348 Output:
ifDescr.1 = STRING: Ethernet Interface
ifDescr.2 = STRING: Ethernet Interface
ifDescr.3 = STRING: Ethernet Interface
ifDescr.4 = STRING: Ethernet Interface
ifDescr.5 = STRING: Ethernet Interface
ifDescr.6 = STRING: Ethernet Interface
ifDescr.7 = STRING: Ethernet Interface
ifDescr.8 = STRING: Ethernet Interface
ifDescr.9 = STRING: Ethernet Interface

I did not know if the discovery process may depend on there being
information in those fields or not.

Any help would be appreciated with troubleshooting this issue.  We are
having a strange problem at one school that is occurring at night and on
weekends and I am trying to track it down using traps.  I can provide more
information if needed.

Thanks,
Jason
