MIBs polled and traps processed for BGP monitoring

Network Protocol Manager for BGP supports SNMPv1, v2c, and v3 for the BGP4 MIB objects and traps that are defined in RFC 1657. It reads the BGP4 MIB objects that are identified in the VMware Smart Assurance Network Protocol Manager Discovery Guide Supplement to discover the following BGP objects:

• BGP autonomous systems

• BGP services

• BGP protocol endpoints

• BGP sessions

• BGP session groups

  Network Protocol Manager for BGP then proceeds to monitor the discovered BGP objects by:

• Polling the BGP4 MIBs on the managed devices (described in “MIBs polled by BGP” on page 144).

• Processing BGP-related SNMP traps issued by the managed devices (optional and described in “Traps processed for BGP” on page 145).

• Processing BGP-related syslog messages issued by the managed devices (optional and described in “Syslog messages processed for BGP monitoring” on page 160).
