bgpSupportedCapabilities

Module: BGP4-OPT-PARAMETERS-MIB

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

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.15.9.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: OCTET STRING

Access: read-only

Description: Vector of BGP-4 capabilities that are supported in this implementation. 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 bgpSupportedCapabilities?

This OCTET STRING (0-32 bytes) is a bit vector indicating which BGP-4 capabilities are supported; bit i set indicates capability (i+1) is supported. Example: a vector with bits 0 and 2 set indicates capabilities 1 (MBGP) and 3 (Route Refresh) are supported.

Examples
