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

Set up SNMP bulk statistics object lists as the first step for configuring periodic MIB data collection and transfer.

Periodic MIB Data Collection and Transfer enables efficient monitoring by collecting selected SNMP MIB objects. The process begins by defining one or more object lists that specify which objects to monitor.

Before you begin

  • Decide which SNMP MIB objects (by name or OID) to collect.

  • Confirm that all selected MIB objects share the same MIB index.

Procedure

1.

Define the bulk statistics object list and enter object list configuration mode. Replace <list-name> with your desired list name:

Example:

Router#configure terminal
Router(config)# snmp-server mib bulkstat object-list ifMib
2.

Add MIB objects to the object list. You can specify either an object name (if recognized) or an OID:

Example:

To add an object by OID:

Router(config-bulk-objects)# add 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.11

To add an object by name:

Router(config-bulk-objects)# add ifAdminStatus
Router(config-bulk-objects)# add ifDescr

Repeat the add command as necessary for each object to be monitored.
3.

Confirm that all objects added to the list are indexed by the same MIB index. Objects can come from different MIBs or tables if this condition is met.
4.

When specifying an object by name, ensure that the object name appears in the output of the show snmp mib object command.

A bulk statistics object list is configured and populated. You have defined the MIB objects—by OID or object name—to monitor for periodic SNMP MIB data collection.
