[mrtg] Baystack 450's and "Port Name:"

[Brett Charbeneau]

Folks,

  	I'd be very grateful for any responses and/or nudges in the right 
direction! First, specifics: MRTG 2.16.2, Kernel 2.6.26, on Debian 5.0.2, and 
the device in question supports SNMP v2.
  	I've scoured Google and the archives for this list and have come up 
empty-handed - please pardon me if this has been asked before!
  	I've got a handful of Baystack 450-24T stacks on my network and
I'm running into two issues:

  	1. Operationally down interfaces continue to be commented out in the
  	config file even though I'm using the "--show-op-down" option with
  	cfgmaker.

  	2. I can't seem to get what appears in the "Port Name:" field
  	(which can be customized by the admin) to wind up in the config file
  	as "Description".

  	In both cases I'm using a derivation of this command to create the 
config file:

/usr/bin/cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir: /var/www/mrtg/wl-sw-room' \
   --global 'Options[_]: bits,growright' --output /var/www/mrtg/cfg/wl-sw-room.cfg 
public at XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX --show-op-down

  	In the first case, I'm just stumped - "--show-op-down" doesn't seem to 
work the way I understand it. Should I simply edit the config file manually to 
remove the hash marks?
  	In the latter case I've tried:

--ifref=name

--ifdesc=alias
--ifdesc=descr
--ifdesc=name
--ifdesc=ppname
--ifdesc=type

  	and invariably the what ends up in the html "Description" field is 
"BayStack---module-1,-port-1" and not the custom entry in the Baystack's "Port 
Name:" field.
  	Anyone out there successfully able to get the custom entry to show up in 
the config file for these switches?
