Periodic MIB Data Collection and Transfer

Updated: June 12, 2026

Explains how to periodically transfer selected MIB data using bulk statistics, providing a flexible and robust alternative to standard MIB file formats.

This chapter describes how to periodically transfer selected MIB data from your router to a specified Network Management System (NMS). The periodic MIB data collection and transfer feature is also known as bulk statistics.

SNMP objects and object instances

Explains the distinctions between SNMP objects and object instances, and how they are used in bulk statistics collection.

Bulk statistics object lists

Explains how bulk statistics object lists are used to group MIB objects for polling based on a shared index.

Bulk statistics schemas

Explains how bulk statistics schemas structure data selection for periodic MIB collection and transfer.

Bulk statistics file transfer options

Lists the available options for transferring bulk statistics files to network management stations and managing local statistics files.

Advantages of periodic MIB data collection and transfer over the bulk file MIB

Provides a comparison of the key advantages of periodic MIB data collection and transfer (bulk statistics feature) over the bulk file MIB (CISCO-BULK-FILE-MIB.my), including configuration flexibility, data integrity, and improved selection mechanisms.

Configure a bulk statistics object list

Configure a bulk statistics object list to enable periodic SNMP MIB data collection and transfer.

Configure a bulk statistics schema

Configure a bulk statistics schema to collect periodic SNMP MIB data and control the collection interval and included object lists.

Configure bulk statistics transfer options

Configure options to determine how collected bulk statistics (MIB) data are transferred from the device to a remote management station.

Configure bulk statistics transfer options

Configure options to determine how collected bulk statistics (MIB) data are transferred from the device to a remote management station.

Example of periodic MIB data collection and transfer

Provides sample configuration commands for periodic MIB data collection and transfer, along with example bulk statistics file
