You've to create a template dir for cisco-3550 (just like the 3500 but
change the 3500 in 3550) or it will not work because it cannot find a
usable template. I don't know if this will work sometimes mostly on
cisco device a xx00 device seems to have different oid from a xx50
device.

To get the data you also need to run devmon as a deamon (If i remember
well if you run it without any option it will go in background). The
devmon --readbbhosts will only read the bbhosts and pass test
information to the daemon running.
