Interface description is derived from SNMP if, and only if, the target defines the appropriate OID. Verify this from the interface table of the device (when clicking "Create Graphs for this Device").
But be aware, that there are several possibilities to define the title of graphs. Find them at the Data Query "Interface Traffic", when selecting your graph template. The "Suggested Names" Section holds all currently defined rules. You may change the sequence of those rules. If you do so, please visit Graph Management afterwards, select your garphs and select the action "Reapply Suggested Names"

Please post the output of

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -c <your community string> -v 1 <your target> interface
This will allow checking, if the basic data is provided by the device.
