Check the Website:
http://www.manubulon.com/nagios/snmp_int.html

As i said: i did not know check_snmp_int.pl but the site states that the return value is OK, if 
every port is up.

So you might want to check only the interfaces that should be up e.g. "-n ethernet0"

For the configuration:
services.cfg and checkcommands.cfg are a perfect place, read the documentation if you are unsure, 
but probably you can figure it out be just reading the existing files.
