cfgmaker generated the mrtg.cfg with all the interfaces on the switch. A
little tweaking got it generating
graphs correctly. The labels on each graph look mostly correct (i.e.
.fa0_0_0 inbound and .fa0_0_0) {the . in front of
the label name is why I say mostly correct, I don't really care much about
that} so that is all good.
Here's the question.
The fa0_0_0 is useful for my network guy, but doesn't mean anything to me.
Looking at the mrtg.cfg
I see it has in it the info that would be useful to me. Here is a snippet
(question below snippet)

Hello,
New to the list, this "reply" won't show up correctly in the archives.
oh well.
What in this snippet is useful to you? I'm assuming it's
"FastEthernet0/0/0 OA Link Subnet15", correct? MRTG creates these using
cfgmaker. The man page of cfgmaker shows to use the "--ifref=SOMETHING"
command to use other things as the description of the interface. You
probably want:
cfgmaker --ifref=descr public at 1.2.3.4
