Sneaky hack: Slap an in+out rate limit on the vlan with high settings
(i.e. same as port/lag speed) and just graph the OID of the rate limit
counter :-)
Might need to take a multiplier calculation/CDEF into account based on
the number of ports you have in the lag.
The new 8x10 cards have built in ve counters indeed which makes it a lot
easier
