Thanks for the response.

When I run the command: 
        snmpget $NODE .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.$INDEX
I received error:
        snmpget: This variable does not exist:
.iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib2.interface.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDesc.

When I do an "snmpwalk nodename" I receive:
        interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDesc.1: Ethernet
        interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDesc.2: Serial 0
        interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDesc.3: Serial 1
        interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDesc.4: Token Ring
        interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDesc.5: Serial 1.1
        interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDesc.6: Serial 1.2

This gives me the instance number that relates to an interface. However,
when I access MIB Data Collection window and select show data only instances
1 through 4 display. How do I obtain collection data for only Serial 1.1 or
Serial 1.2?

Here is a way to do it:

If  the INDEX variable is set to the index of the interface, and NODE is the
IP address or hostname of the node, this will return the name of the
interface:

     snmpget  $NODE .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.$INDEX

It used the interface description MIB.

If you want to get the IP address of the interface (assuming there is one -
there doesn't have to be!)

     snmpwalk $NODE .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.2 | grep "INTEGER: $INDEX"\
           | cut -d. -f5-8 | cut -f1 -d:

Hope that helps..
