I've had a similar problem with Extreme Alpine switches, and I seem to remember that the decription is not available via a standard MIB OID. You may want to do manual interrogation/walk using Getif (http://www.wtcs.org/snmp4tpc/getif.htm) or a similar Unix tool to see if you can find the port decription text. Though I don't know how you'd map the non-standard OID so MRTG used that OID for the description rather than its normal, if you were to find it.

It works perfectly on our cisco switches, but we're trying to do this on our summit, and it's not working as expected. I've tried cfgmaker --ifref=name, ifdesc=descr, ifdesc=alias, and several others, and no luck. When doing an snmpwalk -c (cmtyname) -v1 (switchipaddress) | grep (description) It shows up IF-MIB::ifAlias.16 = STRING: (description) Thanks in advance!
