The Network Load check works for the cisco stuff also.
You only have to find out the snmp OIDs doing a
snmpwalk. Say you want to check the status of a Giga
Ethernet device in the cisco thingie:

# snmpwalk -v 1 -c public HOSTNAME | grep ifDescr | more

1.- search for the description of the interfaces:

   IF-MIB::ifDescr.2 = STRING: GigabitEthernet1


2.- Now, find out the OIDs for the interfaces
   for input and output data.

   # snmptranslate -O n IF-MIB::ifInOctets.2
   .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.2

   # snmptranslate -O n IF-MIB::ifOutOctets.2
   .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16.2


3.- Then add to apan.cfg

HOSTNAME;gb1;/usr/lib/nagios/rrd/HOSTNAME_gb1.rrd;public:.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.2|public:.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16.2;IN:LINE2 
OUT:LINE2;Network throughput;Bytes/sek;
