you are aware that these boxes can push lots of traffic through the
ports, so real time queue-length monitoring will be a rather challenging
task. Can you tell what you want to achieve?

In general, hardware queues can't be monitored via SNMP directly, but if
you use these hardware queues to implement some form of QoS policy via
policy maps, you can monitor the effect of the policy maps via SNMP. The
figures/counters shown by "show policy-map interface" can be retrieved
via CISCO-CLASS-BASED-QOS-MIB, but since this MIB is pretty complex, the
task is non-trivial.

see how the QOS-MIB works).
