What is rcIfDescription?
This value holds a free-text description string that an administrator can assign to a specific switch interface, similar in purpose to the standard ifAlias object but defined in this vendor's own extension MIB. Admins set this to a meaningful label so the interface's purpose is documented directly on the device and visible to anyone browsing its SNMP tables. For example, an admin might set this to "Link to Building B Distribution Switch" to document what a particular port connects to.

Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.8886.6.1.20.1.1.1.2.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SWITCH-IFEXTEND-MIB::rcIfDescription.1
