I'm going to make an assumption that you're running a Cisco Catalyst switch
with somewhat current IOS.  If that's the case try passing
"--ifdesc=catname" at the cfgmaker command line.  There is *alot* of other
good stuff at http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/doc/cfgmaker.en.html

The graph is nothing more than a PNG or GIF image file.  If you would like
that functionality you'll need to look at something else to do that than
MRTG out of the box.

SNMP::Session isn't in perl's path.  You can either update the script to
include the full path or reinstall SNMP::Session.
