Collecting Bulk Statistics
The router offers an efficient data collection and transfer facility for accounting applications. The E Series router SNMP MIBs extend the accounting data collection mechanism defined in the Accounting-Control-MIB (RFC 2513) to include support for connectionless networks.
Service providers need reasonably accurate data about customers’ use of networks. This data is used for billing customers and must be available at a customer’s request. Accounting applications based on SNMP polling models consume significant network bandwidth because they poll large volumes of data frequently.
Unfortunately, SNMP is not well suited for gathering large volumes of data, especially over short time intervals. It is inadequate for use by accounting applications because:
- The SNMP PDU layout has a low payload-to-overhead ratio.
- Processing SNMP PDUs is expensive because objects and tables need to be sorted in lexicographic order.
The router avoids the need for continuous polling of SNMP statistics by using applications known as collectors to retrieve data. You can configure up to six collectors. The router sends collected statistics through FTP to assigned hosts, known as receivers. You must assign a primary receiver to each collector, and you can assign a secondary receiver for redundancy.
![]() | Note: The basic-encoding-rules (BER)–encoding choice is not supported. |
You can collect interface bulk statistics based on sets of virtual router groups. If sets of virtual router groups generally correspond to ISPs, you can then forward the relevant data to a particular ISP.
To configure a collector to include data from a specific list of virtual routers, you must first configure a collector and then associate a router set with it. A collector can have up to 64 virtual routers associated with it.
To collect bulk statistics for a subset of all configured subinterfaces, you can define the subinterfaces using the following syntax:
Per virtual router collection is supported on the if-stats and igmp schemas. It is supported on all interface types supported by BulkStats. Collectors modified to use per virtual router collection or configured after a collector has started have a time delay (up to the configured time in seconds) until an active collector starts again.
The maximum number of interfaces for each type of interface and line module can differ. Bulk statistics can collect these statistics when you configure the slots with their respective interfaces to the corresponding maximum values. For information about maximum values see JunosE Release Notes, Appendix A, System Maximums.
![]() | Note: Define all interface types before you map a collector to the if-stats schema to ensure that you display statistics for all configured interfaces in the first interval. |
The name of the bulk statistics file that is transferred to the host when there is a collectorSequence attribute in the remote name is as follows:
where:
- fileName—Name of the file, which includes sysName, sysUpTime, depending on the attributes specified
- -z—Receiver index value
- mmddHHMM—Timestamp when the receiver is created in month/day/hour/minute format
- -s—Actual sequence number

Understanding Counter Discontinuity
Interface counter discontinuity can occur when a counter wraps or after a line module is reloaded or reset. If one of these actions occurs, applications that utilize the counters in expressions or calculations generate erroneous values and misleading graphs.
Because counters are 64 bits long, the possibility of a counter’s wrapping naturally would occur so infrequently (for example, in many hundreds of years) that this scenario is not recognized as an issue.
Counter discontinuity does occur, however, when you reload or reset a line module. To indicate reloading or resetting, bulk statistics files contain a record similar to the following:
This record provides a mechanism by which applications can detect discontinuity events. To take advantage of this detection capability, the bulk statistics parsing entity should use the record to terminate expression or formula calculations for the indicated slot and to establish a new baseline.
Configuring Collectors and Receivers

bulkstats collector max-size
- Use to set the maximum size of the bulk statistics file for all collectors combined. Even when you configure more than one collector, the first maximum file size configured is the combined size of all collectors.
- The maximum file size that you can configure is 20971520 bytes. However, if you do not configure a maximum size, then the maximum file size defaults to 5767168 bytes.
- Although the CLI accepts the commands, you cannot unconfigure or modify the configuration of the maximum file size until the router is rebooted.
- Examplehost1(config)#bulkstats collector 2 max-size 20480
- Use the no version to set the size of the bulk statistics file to the default, 5767168 bytes.
- See bulkstats collector.
bulkstats collector primary-receiver
- Use to assign the primary receiver to which the system transfers data.
- The index for the receiver must match the index that you specified with the bulkstats receiver remote-name command.
- Examplehost1(config)#bulkstats collector 2 primary-receiver 7
- Use the no version to clear the primary receiver and disable the collector.
- See bulkstats collector.
bulkstats collector secondary-receiver
- Use to assign the secondary (that is, the backup) receiver to which the system transfers data.
- The index for the receiver must match the index you specified with the bulkstats receiver remote-name command.
- Examplehost1(config)#bulkstats collector 2 secondary-receiver 5
- Use the no version to clear the secondary receiver.
- See bulkstats collector.
bulkstats collector single-interval
- Use to set the system to retrieve bulk statistics once only, rather than periodically.
- Examplehost1(config)#bulkstats collector 2 single-interval
- Use the no version to set the system to retrieve bulk statistics periodically, the default situation.
- See bulkstats collector.
bulkstats interfaces description-format common
- Use to set the encoding scheme of the ifDescr object that the bulk statistics application reports to the conventional industry method.

- Use the no version to return to the proprietary method of encoding.
- See bulkstats interfaces description-format common.
bulkstats interface-type
- Use to configure the interface or subinterface type on which you want to collect statistics.
- You can provide an interface specifier (location) to identify a specific interface on which you want to collect statistics.
- If you define more than one collector, you must specify a unique collector index, in the range 1–65535.
- The supported interface types are:
- atm—Collects statistics on ATM interfaces
- atm1483—Collects statistics on ATM 1483 interfaces
- ethernet—Collects statistics on Ethernet interfaces
- frame-relay—Collects statistics on Frame Relay interfaces
- frame-relay-sub—Collects statistics on Frame Relay subinterfaces

- Example 2host1(config)#bulkstats interface-type vlan 2/3:1 collector 1
- Example 3 host1(config)#bulkstats interface-type mplsMajor 2/3:1 collector 1
- Use the no version to delete the interface type from bulk statistics collection. Deletion of a particular interface type takes effect at the next collection interval.
- See bulkstats interface-type.
bulkstats receiver remote-name
- Use to configure the parameters for receivers.
- Bulk statistics transfers require the configuration of a remote FTP server.
- The receivers must appear in the FTP host table. The name of the host must match the name you specify with this command. The hostname is relative to the virtual router’s context when you issue this command.
- When specifying the remote filename for bulk statistics, you must precede the filename with the hostname followed by the :/ characters.
- Examplehost1(config)#bulkstats receiver 1 remote-name js:/ftptest/bulk%s%s.sts sysName sysUpTime

Note: The % variables in the remote name are replaced at runtime with the sysName and sysUpTime parameters to produce variable filenames on the remote host.
- Use the no version to delete the receiver.
- See bulkstats receiver remote-name.
bulkstats traps
- Use to configure bulk statistics traps.
- You must configure SNMP correctly and specify a valid trap source. Otherwise, the system will not send SNMP traps.
- Examplehost1(config)#bulkstats traps nearly-full
- Use the no version to disable the trap.
- See bulkstats traps.
bulkstats virtual-router-group
- Use to collect interface statistics for each virtual router.
- A collector can have a maximum of 64 virtual routers associated with it.
- Routers are identified by their assigned name or router index.
- Supported only on if-stats and igmp schemas.
- Supported on all interface types supported by the bulk statistics application.
- Collectors modified to use per virtual router collection or configured after a collector has started have a time delay until an active collector starts again.
- Examplehost1(config)#bulkstats virtual-router-group collector 2 routerISP3
- Use the no version to prevent bulkstats from being reported for virtual router groups.
- See bulkstats virtual-router-group.
Deleting All Bulkstats Configurations
Although individual bulkstats commands allow you to disable or delete a specific bulkstats parameter, the CLI also allows you to remove all bulkstats configurations from the router at one time.
no bulkstats
- Use to remove all bulkstats configurations from the router at one time.
- Examplehost1(config)#no bulkstats
- See no bulkstats.

Understanding Schemas
You can set a management schema for bulk statistics. A schema is a group of attributes or counters that provide an efficient way to retrieve specific types of information about the router. The bulk statistics application supports schemas listed in Table 24.
![]() | Note: There are no explicit schema objects for the if-stack and system schemas. |
Table 24 shows the type of data each schema retrieves.
Table 24: Data Retrieved According to Schema
Schema | Retrieves |
|---|---|
if-stack | The interface and interface column configuration. It is a complete retrieval of the ifStackTable, which stores the configured interfaces and their stacking relationship on a router. |
if-stats | Usage data on sets of interface types. The interface usage data is the ifTable/ifXTable counters. The ifXTable supports 64-bit counters and the data written into the bulk statistics file supports the 64-bit counters. |
igmp | Statistics associated with various IGMP components. |
policy | Statistics associated with a specified policy, a policy type, or traffic tagged by a policy with a color tag. |
qos | QoS statistics on egress queues for various interface types. The QoS schema enables service providers to keep track of network congestion and monitor oversubscription on the egress queues of the router. |
system | Global system and per-module statistics and information. The global system statistics retrieved are the sysUpTime and nvsUtilPct. The per-module statistics and information retrieved include the intPhysicalDesc, the cpuUtilPct, and the memUtilPct. |
If-Stats Schema Objects
Table 25 describes the if-stats objects that you can configure using the bulkstats schema subtree if-stats command.

All the schema if-stats objects in Table 25 apply to both layer 2 and layer 3 interfaces, except usdAcctngSpoofedPkts, which is specific to layer 3.
Defining all interface types before you map a collector to the if-stats schema ensures that you display statistics for all configured interfaces in the first interval.
You can get more accurate rate statistics by using the time-offset parameter. To use this parameter you must navigate to the if-stats subtreelist. The time-offset parameter is included in each bulk statistics interface record and is the offset from the master interval at which the record was collected.

By default, a collector exports all queue attributes to its receiver. However, by choosing one or more QoS schema objects listed in Table 28, you can configure the QoS schema to export specific queue attributes.
You can associate an interface type with the QoS schema to enable the queue statistics collection on all line modules for every queue belonging to each instance of the specified interface type.
You can restrict or limit the statistics collection to a particular location or virtual router group by specifying the location of a particular slot, port, or virtual router group.
You can view the QoS rate statistics over each S-VLAN or ATM virtual path by including the export-summarized-stats keyword in the bulkstats schema subtree qos command. This keyword enables the export of the aggregate traffic rate to the receivers.
Configuring Schemas
To configure a schema for collecting bulk statistics on an interface:
- Configure a bulk statistics schema. host 1(config)#bulkstats schema 11
- Assign a collector to the schema. The
collector determines when the queue information is exported for the
schema.host1(config)#bulkstats schema 11 collector 11
See Configuring Collectors and Receivers for information about configuring collectors.
- Specify the management schema to collect bulk statistics.
In this particular example, the QoS schema is configured to collect
bulk statistics.host1(config)#bulkstats schema 11 subtree qos
- Specify the type of interface on which
you want to collect the statistics.host1(config)#bulkstats interface-type atm1483 collector 11
- Configure a receiver to receive the collected
statistics. host1(config)#bulkstats receiver 11 remote-name qos.sts
See Configuring Collectors and Receivers for information about configuring collectors.
bulkstats schema
- Use to create the schema for collecting bulk statistics.
- Example—Creates schema with schema index 4host1(config)#bulkstats schema 4
- Use the no version to delete
the specified schema.

Note: If you create a collector but there is no schema for that collector, the collector will not be active, and a schema will be created automatically for that collector to collect if-stats for all subtree attributes.
- See bulkstats schema.
bulkstats schema subtree if-stack
- Use to retrieve interface and interface column configuration information.
- Retrieves statistics from ifStackTable, which stores the configured interfaces and their stacking relationship on a router.
- Example—Configures the if-stack schemahost1(config)#bulkstats schema 4 subtree if-stack
- Use the no version to delete the specified schema.
- See bulkstats schema subtree.
bulkstats schema subtree if-stats
- Use to retrieve interface usage data on sets of interface types.
- To collect statistics for the specified counter type, use the subtreelist keyword.
- To retrieve the offset from the master interval at which the record was created for the bulk statistics interface record, use the time-offset keyword.
- To collect the final statistics that may have been lost, use the if-create-delete-time-stats keyword.
- Example 1—Configures the schema to collect interface
usage statistics for lower interfacehost1(config)#bulkstats schema 1 subtree if-stats subtreelist lower-interface
- Example 2—Configures the schema to retrieve final
statistics that may have been lost during a higher create or delete
frequency, for the specified interface host1(config)#bulkstats schema 5 subtree if-stats if-create-delete-time-stats interfaceType ?

- Example—Configures the schema to collect the destination
address and time-offset attributes for IGMP.host1(config)#bulkstats schema 4 subtree igmp dest-address time-offset
- Use the no version to delete the specified schema.
- See bulkstats schema subtree.
bulkstats schema subtree policy
- Use to collect statistics about a specified policy or a policy type, or based on color-coded tags applied by a policy.
- To collect statistics for a specified policy, use the policy-name keyword.
- To collect data on input policies, local input policies, output policies, or secondary output policies, use the policy-type keyword.
- To collect statistics based on color-coded tags applied by a policy, use the policy-subtreelist keyword.
- You create policies using the policy-list command. For information, see the JunosE Policy Management Configuration Guide.
- Example—Configures the schema to collect statistics
for a policy named XMYpolicyhost1(config)#bulkstats schema 4 subtree policy policy-name XMYpolicy
- Use the no version to delete the specified schema.
- See bulkstats schema subtree policy.
bulkstats schema subtree qos
- Use to configure the bulk statistics schema to collect QoS statistics and configuration information on egress queues belonging to different interface types.
- To export egress queue statistics based on the queue attributes specified for the QoS schema, use the subtreelist keyword.
- To export the summarized QoS rate statistics over each S-VLAN or ATM virtual path, use the export-summarized-stats keyword.
- Specifying the export-summarized-stats keyword enables the export of the summarized statistics over each S-VLAN or ATM virtual path. To ensure that you successfully receive the summarized statistics, do not filter out the forward-rate and aggregate-dropped-rate attributes from the egress queue data. To accomplish this, use either the bulkstats schema subtree qos all command or the bulkstats schema subtree qos forwarded-rate aggregate-dropped-rate command.
- Example 1—Configures the QoS schema to export all
egress queue attributeshost1(config)#bulkstats schema 4 subtree qos subtreelist all

- See bulkstats schema subtree qos.
bulkstats schema subtree system
- Use to retrieve global system and per-module statistics and information.
- The schema retrieves global statistics sysUpTime and nvsUtilPct.
- The schema retrieves per-slot statistics and information such as the slotDescr, the cpuUtilPct, and the memUtilPct.
- Example—Configures the schema to collect the system
statistics.host1(config)#bulkstats schema 4 subtree system
- Use the no version to delete the specified schema.
- See bulkstats schema subtree.
Mapping Bulkstats Output to MIB Flies and CLI Configurations for Bulk Statistics Schema
Bulk statistics organizes data in the form of schema definitions. You can configure the schemas to retrieve specific accounting information by using the CLI or the SNMP MIB objects. The schemas support attributes that point to specific MIB objects. To retrieve specific network accounting information you must configure the CLI to query the corresponding MIB object.
Table 29 shows the mapping between the bulkstats output and the CLI and MIBs for policy schema.

Configuring Interface Numbering Mode
E Series routers support the RFC 1213 interface numbering mode on bulkstats. This mode is contrasted with the default interface numbering mode.
The RFC 1213 numbering mode is based on a 32-bit contiguous integer value starting from 1 and ranging to ifNumber. This mode differs from the default interface numbering mode, which encodes a type field in the upper 8 bits of a 32-bit integer. The use of the upper 8 bits creates large gaps in the ifIndex numbering scheme.
There is no re-use of ifIndex values in RFC 1213 mode, whereas in the default interface numbering mode, ifIndex values can be re-used. In the default interface numbering mode, re-use of ifIndex values across reboots is permitted and is basically known as ifIndex re-numbering.
In RFC 1213 mode, however, the interface numbers are not re-used during a single initialization of the device and renumbering of ifIndexes occurs after a system reboot. In the default interface numbering mode, ifIndexes are persistent across system reboots and can be reused without resetting the value of sysUpTime.
In RFC 1213 mode, two parameters control the size of the ifIndex range and the total number of interfaces in the standard interface tables—maxIfIndex and maxIfNumber. There is no such control in the default interface numbering mode.
In RFC 1213 mode, interface creations should not result in gaps in the ifIndex range. A gap that results from the deletion of an interface is acceptable because it is handled by older network management applications. The gaps are eliminated after the router is rebooted. However, in the default interface numbering mode, large gaps occur from the creation of interfaces due to the use of the upper 8 bits of the ifIndex for interface type encoding. Gaps are not eliminated after a system reboot.
In RFC 1213 mode, small gaps can occur in the creation of IP interfaces when virtual routers are used. These gaps are minimized but not eliminated when the router is rebooted.
