[mrtg] problems with cfgmaker and ifdesc=alias

[Markus Lauterbach]

Hi out there,
 
I'm a recipient of this maillinglist for a few month now. With the announcement of the mrtg-release 2.17.1, I thought, my problem based on cfgmaker and my routers interface alias would be solved. Now, I using mrtg-version 2.17.1 and my problem still exists. 
 
bash-3.00$ /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/cfgmaker --version
cfgmaker for mrtg-2.17.2
 
I'm using a Cisco SG 300-52 52-port switch, which allows me, to label the interfaces. As you can see, I already did that

I'm using the cfgmaker with the following command ( /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/cfgmaker --no-down --ifdesc=alias --global "WorkDir: /opt/apache/htdocs/mrtg/switch" --output switch.cfg guessit at 192.168.xxx.yyy; ), but unfortunately the interface alias isn't used in the cfg-file :(
 
Is this option tricky to use or I'm not able to see the wood for the trees.
 
Much thanks in advance
 
Markus
