All,

We are running into an issue with Brocade where we are finding it difficult to to graph VLAN interfaces for bits 
(in/out) across a tagged (trunk) interface. On Cisco this is not an issue. So what we end up with in Cacti is a blank 
(no data) graph.

Depending on the specific hardware you're using, you may be out of luck - early generations of MLX/XMR line cards don't support per-vlan statistics; you need to have the new 8x10GE cards (or a few others of the current generation) to have those counters available.
