as bulk statistics.

Prerequisites for Periodic MIB Data Collection and Transfer
To use periodic MIB data collection and transfer, you should be familiar with the Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) model of management information. You should also know what MIB information you want
to monitor on your network devices, and the OIDs or object names for the MIB objects to be monitored.
Information About Periodic MIB Data Collection and Transfer
SNMP Objects and Instances
A type (or class) of SNMP management information is called an object. A specific instance from a type of
management information is called an object instance (or SNMP variable). To configure a bulk statistics
collection, you must specify the object types to be monitored using a bulk statistics object list and the specific
instances of those objects to be collected using a bulk statistics schema.
MIBs, MIB tables, MIB objects, and object indices can all be specified using a series of numbers called an
object identifier (OID). OIDs are used in configuring a bulk statistics collection in both the bulk statistics
object lists (for general objects) and in the bulk statistics schemas (for specific object instances).
