WARNING: Could not match host:'public@<IP>:::2' ref:'Descr' key:'ATM3/0'

This means that MRTG, when using the SNMP2 community string 'public' on the device \
<IP>, could not find an interface with a description of 'ATM3/0' as specified in your \
MRTG .cfg file.  
This might be because this interface description does not exist, or the community \
string is wrong, or your host does not have access to query the device.  
MRTG can try to identify which interface to retrieve statistics on in a number of \
different ways. You have specified (in the cfg file) to do it by attempting to match \
Interface Description, so if you change these descriptions in any way (EG by adding \
or removing interface boards)  then the configuration may no longer work.
