The OM3500 has a Gig interface on the Ethernet side, and .5 G on the RPR
side. Realistically, we will probably never hit more than 300Mb/s on
the RPR side. Originally, I had my polling cycle way too high (15
minutes). I have now changed that to 2 minutes for the OM3500s. I had
hoped to be able to use 64-bit counters, so that I could use less
frequent polling.

I did find out from Nortel that the OM3500 does NOT
support SNMPv2 -
only SNMPv1. (I was hoping I just had to flip a switch
somewhere.)
So, it appears that my only option is to increase my
polling frequency.
I have not checked the enterprise MIB, as you suggested,
but I will do
that now. Not really holding too much hope for that,
though.
Thanks for your help.

Russ,
How fast are your interfaces? With 32-bit counters you should be
able to successfully graph bit over 100 mbps with 5-minute polling. Yet
you mentioned 50M - is that megabytes or megabits? If megabits then the
5-minute polling cycle should work just fine. If megabytes then you'll
need to go to a 1-minute polling interval which is good to about 550
megabits/second if I recall correctly.
