Hi all I faced the same problem and I gave up. I supose you are trying to use the "description" that you put manualy. You won't be able to do this. The "derscriptions" in MRTG/rrdtools cfg file is that one that you can get if you inspect the OID under mgmnt.... (1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2) The "description that you put it manually is that one under ...private.cisco... (1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.2.1.1.28).
I intended to set up a flexible .cfg file trying to use "--ifdesc=Uplink". All you have to do when you have this kind of setup is to put the description on the right interface.
