Strange.... 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.
Mrtg version 2.9.17 on Win2kSp3
On CatOS: None of my names have spaces, just "_" & "-" (set port name)
On IOS: Some Descriptions configured. They DO have spaces (Just Slot/Port comes through on ones without names)
Are you running CatOs or IOS? The previous "pollux" example was CatOS. The following "Mizar" example is IOS. But, they are very much the same...

Here's what I get - exactly the same as yours, except:
1. When I put --ifref=name, all my ports are commented out because "*
--ifref=name is not unique for this interface"
2. I get no port names.

Subject: [mrtg] MRTG + Cisco Catalyst Port Name
I've been having this issue for a while now. 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>.
Thanks!
-Hasan
