Network Protocol Manager for BGP supports BGP standard SNMPv1, v2, and v3 traps that are defined in RFC 1657. It processes data found in the following fields of each trap message:

  • Enterprise

  • Generic Trap Identifier

  • Specific Trap Identifier

  • Variable-Bindings

  • IP address of the SNMP agent

    Network Protocol Manager for BGP extracts the information from the trap messages and updates the appropriate device attributes. In addition, for any trap message that contains at least one BGP endpoint (BGP protocol endpoint) that is not currently in its repository, Network Protocol Manager for BGP sends SNMP polls to the appropriate device to rediscover the device’s BGP-related objects.

    SNMP traps processed by Network Protocol Manager for BGP lists the SNMP traps that are processed by Network Protocol Manager for BGP.
