Module: BGP4-OPT-PARAMETERS-MIB

OID (symbolic): BGP4-OPT-PARAMETERS-MIB::bgpPeerCapabilitiesAnnounced

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.15.9.4.2.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: OCTET STRING

Description: This bit vector identifies which capabilities have been announced to a BGP-4 speaker.

Capabilities are identified via the string of bits within this object. The first octet contains bits 0 to 7, the second octet contains bits 8 to 15 and so on. If a bit, i, is present and set, then the capability (i+1) is supported.

When capabilities are not supported, all bits must be zero.

What is bgpPeerCapabilitiesAnnounced?

This OCTET STRING (0-32 bytes) is a bit vector of capabilities advertised to the peer, using the same bit format as supported capabilities. Example: it shows which capabilities this router announced to the peer in the OPEN message.
