[mrtg] Re: Problem to capture the "description" field on cisco

[John McKay]

when i run cfgmaker with the --vendor switch, it pulls in the
description....
of course now when we configure routers, we always enter the destination and
the circuit id involved.
some of the earlier configs we had to go back and enter it, but it serves as
a documentation tool also.
we have over 600 routers, monitoring about 800 interfaces at this time...
when a get a twin 450, i should be able to get about 2500 interfaces.
