OK I figured it out. It's the Redhat 9 environment issue that affects SNMP collection talked about here:

Stephen' Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [mrtg] MRTG + Cisco Catalyst Port Name I know, it is strange. I'm running CATOS, version 5.4.2 (I have a 4006 running 7.2 and that won't populate the ifref and the ifdesc either). IOS (12.0.7) is running on the MSFCs. It's a 6509/Sup1A. No matter how much I mess with the cfgmaker CLI options, I have noted that the ifref and the ifdesc options do not, repeat do not, populate at all. My partner in crime has successfully polled portnames off the very same switch with MRTG running on a Win2kSp3 box. My RedHat box however cannot seem to, even though everything else seems to be working fine.

I'm not sure if any of this will help, but here a bit more of my config... I'm running Cat6513 Sup2/MSFC2's with a SFM2.

I am running MRTG 2.10.0pre3 on a RH9 box to graph Catalyst 4000/6000 port utilization. I get all the stats I need, however, the field for ifName and ifDescr come out blank on the port-graph page. I would like them to appear in the commonly used <mod/port> and "CiscoCatalystPortName" format. I have tried every possible combination of --ifref=name, --ifref=nr, --ifref=descr etc. and --ifdesc=name, --ifdesc=descr etc. with no success. If I use --ifref=name (and some other permutations), inside the .cfg file I've noticed an error that says it skips all the ports because "ifref=name is not unique". But my port names should be appearing as 1/1, 1/2, 1/3 and my descriptions should be Peter's Port, Susan's Printer etc. they are in most cases unique. What ends up happening is that I get 300 ports names 192.168.1.1_1 through 300 on the index page, which is no way to monitor ports. Each drill down graph page then has no identifying feature that tell me it's port 5/34 or "Susan's Printer" to distinguish it from other ports. I've noticed when I run mrtg to create the graphs, the "Walking CiscoCatalystPortName section skips by really quickly compared to say "Walking ifspeed". Can anyone suggest something to help me out? I want the index page to classify graphs by <mod/port>.
