I believe the Netgear SNMP implementation is simply ignoring whatever you add for interface descriptions via the switch management interface.
I raised a ticket with Netgear about this, but they ignored that too, so it's not likely this will ever be fixed by them. To give me some sensible info (I only have a couple of switches to monitor) and as I was only interested in snmp trap events, I added some code in the events to lookup the snmp port ID against a table and add my own description. Obviously this solution won't really scale. It would be really helpful if Zenoss allowed me to set the description for a particular interface manually. -- Regards, Graham Bloice
