It’s probably the IOS version, but I’m curious about a way to either manually set a description on the interface or be able to poll the switch to get the data set
SNMP v1 only has interface ID and name
SNMP v2c times out quite often but doesn’t show anything different
The description is key because it tells the Oncall team what is going wrong
There are 2 ways to get the description of the interfaces:
Rule “Network interface and switch port discovery”: Here you can choose what the service name of the interface should be.
Under “Appearance of network interface” you can choose between “Use alias”, “Use Description” or “Use Index”. The results vary depending on the manufacturer.
You have the same choice under “Network interfaces and switch ports” under “Change infotext in check output”.
Here you select what should appear in the summary.
