When using the interface number, that is given by default when running
cfgmaker, the syntax 2:foo at 172.20.100.200: is correct IF there is an
interface 2 AND it is active on the device. That is not always the case. For
instance I have a switch with slots for GIG uplinks, that are my interfaces
1 & 2, so to monitor the ETHERNET ports, I have to watch 3-26, not 1-24.
Did you get the cfg file by running cfgmaker or did you create it by hand?
If you did it by hand, try running cfgmaker foo at 172.20.100.200 and see if
that gives you the interfaces you are looking for.

Now I am confused. If that is the case, why does the other switch work
with this config?
Target[172.20.100.200_2]: 2:foo at 172.20.100.200:
SetEnv[172.20.100.200_2]: MRTG_INT_IP="" MRTG_INT_DESCR=""

The bit you are talking about in front of the comm string increments
with the ports on the switch, so that also confuses me, so port 1 it
would be 1:foo, 2:foo, 3:foo, etc....

MRTG needs 2 OIDs in the target line. You have this
Target[172.20.100.202_1]: 1:foo at 172.20.100.202:
You need something like this
Target[172.20.100.202_1]: 1&1:foo at 172.20.100.202:
I'm not 100% sure of the syntax since I always explicitly list whatever
OIDs
I am trying to get. I would do it like this:
Target[172.20.100.202_1]:
ifInOctets.1&ifOutOctets.1:foo at 172.20.100.202:::::
Not sure of the mrtg shorthand.
But for sure one of your issues is that you need to collect two metrics.

I am trying to setup another Dell switch for SNMP polling. I have one
switch
working but am running into problems with another similar switch.
I ran debug and I see it running through the config lines:

But I don't see any snpo lines, such as the ones below:
--snpo: simple If: .100
--snpo: simple If: .100
--snpo: SNMPGet from foo at 172.20.100.200: --
ifInOctets.100,ifOutOctets.100,sysUptime,sysName
--snpo: SNMPfound -- 'undef', 'undef', '32 days, 21:17:52', 'undef'
I am trying to get this to work via Big Brother and I wonder if this is
my
overall problem.
