For aggregate graphs in <v4, a little bit of extra config is required.

For infrastructures, set the 'Aggregate Graph Name' for each 
infrastructure (under IXP ADMIN ACTIONS / Infrastructures on left hand 
side menu).

For the overall IXP, set the 'Aggregate Graph Name' for the IXP. This is 
also accessed under the Infrastructures page via the grey box at the bottom.

The switch name must resolve in DNS. I appreciate we have name / 
hostname / ipv4 address / ipv6 address in the switch table. This is the 
result of 10 years of legacy which needs to be cleaned up.

Generally, set name and hostname the same and as long as you can ping / 
SNMP query the switch on that name from the command line then you should 
be okay.
