Usman, 

What do you mean by collector?

You can set up collection on all instances of a MIB variable by using the
wild card character in the Instance field.  That will get all
interfaces on the selected nodes.  However, there are separate MIB
variables defined for input and output octets, so the NMS issues a Get on
two MIB variables.   You can combine them into a single MIB
_expression_, but it still requires SNMP Gets on different variables.
