I don't understand whjat you mean with nagios monitor, i tried to setup 
a checkcommand and have the correct output on the Webinterface.

for checks where you want to check wheter a received Interger Value is 
in a given range consult the --help it's kinda difficult but logical 
(try around) Remeber: the return Value is NOT "SNMP OK - 1" but "1" SNMP 
OK comes from the Plugin not the snmpget, so don't try to check whether 
the return value includes SNMP ok :-0

Don't use a -w and -c works fine (here) returns ok all the time and the 
output is displayed.

Yeah.. let it live for 2 years and you find the switches names 
groundfloor building A somewhere on the roof of building G ;-) Trust 
me.. but the intention is great, that's sure.

Yeah.. sometimes. i usally name the devices after the location, like 
build1-floor3-sw1 which does the same.
