Hi Steve, thanks for the reply. I already attempted your advice. After using '--ifdesc=catname,ppname,alias,descr,ip,name,nr ' the "ifName"-attribute was used in my cfg-file. When I change the order of the attributes to be used for ifdesc, the output in my cfg-file changes as follows: '--ifdesc=catname,ppname,alias,descr,ip,name,nr ' => ifName is used (Description like this as title "g1 -- Switch") '--ifdesc=alias,descr,catname,ppname,ip,name,nr' => blank is used (Description like this as title "-- Switch") '--ifdesc=descr,alias,catname,ppname,ip,name,nr' => blank is used (Description like this as title "-- Switch") '--ifdesc=name,descr,alias,catname,ppname,ip,nr' => #ifName is used (Description like this as title "#g1 -- Switch") To avoid empty results I labelled all interfaces of the router, but no changes took place. The result is the same as above. Any ideas left? Much thanks in advance Markus

You also do not tell use *what* is being used where you expect the Alias to be used. Try this: /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/cfgmaker --no-down --ifref=ip,name,nr --ifdesc=catname,ppname,alias,descr,ip,name,nr --global "WorkDir: /opt/apache/htdocs/mrtg/switch" --output switch.cfg gues...@192.168.xxx.yyy Steve Steve Shipway University of Auckland ITS UNIX Systems Design Lead s.ship...@auckland.ac.nz Ph: +64 9 373 7599 ext 86487 From: mrtg-bounces+s.shipway=auckland.ac...@lists.oetiker.ch [mrtg-bounces+s.shipway=auckland.ac...@lists.oetiker.ch] on behalf of Markus Lauterbach [markus.lauterb...@meinestadt.de] Sent: Friday, 18 March 2011 2:24 a.m. To: mrtg@lists.oetiker.ch Subject: [mrtg] problems with cfgmaker and ifdesc=alias 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.
