It's easier to get the Interface Index on the switches running CatOS which have the CLI command 'sh port ifindex'.

For IOS based devices, you will have to poll the SNMP MIB object ifIndex (.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.1) which will tell you the ifIndex of each interface. You can then poll the ifDescr (.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2) to correlate the ifIndex to the corresponding interfaces.

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/477/SNMP/5.html provides details.
