[mrtg] Re: Cisco Interface Description

[Roth, Gabrielle]

Hi Sarah!
The OIDs you're interested in are
'CiscolocIfDescr' => '1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.2.1.1.28'
'ifAlias' => '1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.18'

A caveat:  CiscolocIfDescr doesn't work for Frame Relay and Fast Ethernet
sub-interfaces (IME), and ifAlias truncates the description at 64
characters.  If this affects you, I have had a bug report open with Cisco
about this for over a year, and I can give you the information if you'd like
to hop on.

I modified my cfgmaker to put the description in the 'html format part' of
each target.  (At least, I think I did...I'm using a very old, heavily
modified version of cfgmaker and don't really know what all I've done to
it!)  I also included it in indexmaker, so when we're looking at a huge page
of interfaces we don't have to guess which circuit is which.  If you need
help doing something like this, email me privately and I'll try to help you.
