Description: Arista EOS BGP4 version 2 textual conventions for address family and peer type definitions.
Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.
What Is ARISTA-BGP4V2-TC-MIB?
This is an Arista Networks EOS MIB module that defines textual conventions (TCs) for BGP-4 version 2, based on the IETF draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-mibv2-13 and rehomed under Arista's private enterprise OID arc. It belongs to the routing/BGP management category on Arista switches and routers. Rather than exposing monitorable runtime data itself, it supplies shared enumerated types (such as address-family and peer-type identifiers) that other Arista BGP4V2 MIB modules import to structure their tables, so it contains no OIDs for uptime, CPU, memory, or fault counters. Its dependency is explicit and total: it is a direct derivative of the IETF BGP4-MIB-v2 draft, adapted into Arista's enterprise tree, and every sibling BGP4V2 data module depends on it for type definitions. It is deployed on Arista EOS switches and routers running BGP in data-center and campus/WAN environments, where the ARISTA-BGP4V2-TC-MIB MIB is loaded by NMS tools purely as supporting infrastructure for the operational BGP tables.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ARISTA-BGP4V2-TC-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.
Supported Devices
- Arista EOS switches and routers running BGP
- vendor-neutral IETF BGP4-MIB-v2 derived type definitions
Monitoring Examples
This module defines no tables or scalar objects of its own (sample_objects is empty) — it only provides textual-convention type definitions, such as BGP address-family and peer-type enumerations, for reuse by other Arista BGP4V2 MIB modules. There is no runtime monitoring scenario to describe honestly here, since a pure type-definition module carries no pollable instance data; a management station only consumes it indirectly when decoding values reported by the accompanying BGP4V2 state/table MIBs.
