RANCID script for monitoring the routes received from peers.
Hello, We are running IX in India.Has some one written script for monitoring the routes announcement from peers?If yes,would you like to share code with me.It can be done via one script under the framework of RANCID.I want to know difference of routes,which has been added or removed. Thanks in advance. Regards, Ajay Kumar

Hi Ajay, Are you running IOS, JunOS, something else ? You could do it via Rancid, using *login scripts. But there are ways to do this using SNMP and BGP mibs: http://www.oidview.com/mibs/0/BGP4-MIB.html http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseMIB.do?local=en&step=2&mibName=CISCO-BGP4-MIB Note that the network monitoring platform Observium has built-in support for tracking BGP sessions. Finally, another way to do this that could spare the CPU on on your routers if you run this often would be to setup a peer running Quagga (or BIRD) on a Linux/BSD host and run the monitoring there. Cheers, Phil

that will only provide the calculated prefix entries from the RIB, not the received-routes from each host. I.e. it's not necessarily going to be 100% accurate. Nick
