Ganglia doesn't have any native way out of the box to collect interface metrics from network devices via. SNMP, although you could write a module for it (and supposedly a few people have done this already). You could also use the sflow metrics collection, although I haven't had much luck getting that working with my network devices.
As a starting place check out the gmetric network modules: https://github.com/ganglia/gmond_python_modules/tree/master/network. I started trying to adapt the net iron module a while back but really wanted to rewrite it from the ground up to make it more flexible and ran out of time to work on it.
