Somone else already suggested installing SNMP, however, may I also offer a 
suggestion based on my own experience.

Don't call the snmp test at all. Instead, set the "remote" feature for the 
system and use etherport, net, and other tests and have them call the SNMP 
layer. This seems to be a lot less problematic.


ie:
DESCR           features=remote                         managedswitch

managedswitch          community=public etherport
managedswitch         community=public warnload=80% network

You can also use the interface specifier on these tests to restrict what 
interfaces it will use, it even supports regex if you start with a tilde.

ie: here's a regex I use to monitor all numbered interfaces, except 11 on a 
Cisco switch (uses naming like GigaBitEthernet0/9):

interface=~\/(?!11)\d

It basically just looks for a / followed by a number, but won't match /11
