Thanks to Everyone, The answers were excellent :) 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. Adam Spann.
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. - Jared On Fri, Mar 22, 2002 at 11:55:39AM +1100, Adam Spann wrote:

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, Yu Ning ______________________________________ (Mr.) Yu Ning, Chief Engineer ChinaNET (AS4134) Senior Support Internet Dep.
