Description

This article provides information on how to obtain BGP information by using a SNMP OID on EX-series switches.

Symptoms

To obtain the following BGP Information by using a SNMP OID:
user@switch# show protocols bgp
export test;
   group ibgp {
        type internal;
            local-address 1001::1;
            peer-as 100;
            local-as 100;
            tcp-mss 1000;
            neighbor 3003::3;
}

user@switch# run show bgp summary
Groups: 1 Peers: 1 Down peers: 0

inet6.0: 0/0/0/0

Solution


The following SNMP OID is used to verify the BGP information:

user@switch# run show snmp mib walk .1.3.6.1.2.1.15 
bgpVersion.0 = 10
bgpLocalAs.0 = 0
bgpPeerIdentifier.0.0.0.0 = 11.0.1.1
bgpPeerState.0.0.0.0 = 6       > BGP Peer State
bgpPeerAdminStatus.0.0.0.0 = 2
bgpPeerNegotiatedVersion.0.0.0.0 = 4
bgpPeerLocalAddr.0.0.0.0 = 0.0.0.0
bgpPeerLocalPort.0.0.0.0 = 61788
bgpPeerRemoteAddr.0.0.0.0 = 0.0.0.0
bgpPeerRemotePort.0.0.0.0 = 179
bgpPeerRemoteAs.0.0.0.0 = 2
bgpPeerInUpdates.0.0.0.0 = 2
bgpPeerOutUpdates.0.0.0.0 = 0
bgpPeerInTotalMessages.0.0.0.0 = 68
bgpPeerOutTotalMessages.0.0.0.0 = 69
bgpPeerLastError.0.0.0.0 = 00 00
bgpPeerFsmEstablishedTransitions.0.0.0.0 = 1
bgpPeerFsmEstablishedTime.0.0.0.0 = 1777
bgpPeerConnectRetryInterval.0.0.0.0 = 32
bgpPeerHoldTime.0.0.0.0 = 90
bgpPeerKeepAlive.0.0.0.0 = 30
bgpPeerHoldTimeConfigured.0.0.0.0 = 90
bgpPeerKeepAliveConfigured.0.0.0.0 = 30
bgpPeerMinASOriginationInterval.0.0.0.0 = 1
bgpPeerMinRouteAdvertisementInterval.0.0.0.0 = 1
bgpPeerInUpdateElapsedTime.0.0.0.0 = 1777
bgpIdentifier.0 = 22.0.2.2
From the above output the following BGP information is obtained:

  • The BGP peer connection state: 
    Values: {1 : idle} {2 : connect} {3 : active} {4 : opensent } {5 : openconfirm} {6 : established }

jnxBgpM2PeerState.0.2.16.1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1.2.48.3.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.3 = 6  < Established
  • The local IP address of this entry's BGP connection: 
    jnxBgpM2PeerLocalAddr.0.2.16.1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1.2.48.3.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.3 = 
10 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 < 1001::1
  • The Remote IP address of this entry's BGP connection: 
    jnxBgpM2PeerRemoteAddr.0.2.16.1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1.2.48.3.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.3 = 
30 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 < 3003::3
