RE: SNMP and BGP

Thanks to Everyone,
The answers were excellent :slight_smile:

I have gone through the mib definition file, and as Anne said in her
response, the information I was after is not stored in the mib, I was
looking to be able to get the total number of routes from a given Peer from
the Mib, in place of the 'show ip bgp sum' command, looks like I will be
stuck with that till a new object is added to the Mib.

STill now that I have the information, I will be able to do some other
things using the mib which should be able to give me a lot more information.

Thanks Everyone.

Please ask your vendors to implement the
bgp mib v2 draft.. or at least the received routes info.
(draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-mibv2-02.txt)

  They already display it in their various CLIs. (juniper+cisco for
example).

  They have the number available. it should be easy to reveal these
in snmp for reliable accurate polling.

Hi,

I suppose there is vendor watching this thread. I also propose adding
current BGP table
version number into the BGP-MIB, because checking this number at regular
time will
give you an idea of your router bgp stability, without this MIB, I have to
use script to
parse router output (as mentioned in another post related to routing table
oscillation)

best,
