bgp4V2BackwardTransitionNotification

Module: BGP4V2-MIB

OID (symbolic): BGP4V2-MIB::bgp4V2BackwardTransitionNotification

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.3.5.1.0.2

Node type: NOTIFICATION-TYPE

Description: The BGPBackwardTransition Event is generated when the BGP FSM moves from a higher numbered state to a lower numbered state.

Due to the nature of the BGP state machine, an implementation MAY rate limit the generation of this event. An implementation MAY also generate this notification ONLY when the state machine moves out of the established state. An implementation should document its specific behavior.

Examples

Send this trap to an SNMP manager — replace <manager> with the IP or hostname of your monitoring server (SNMPv2c):

snmptrap -v2c -c public <manager> '' BGP4V2-MIB::bgp4V2BackwardTransitionNotification
snmptrap -v2c -c public <manager> '' 1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.3.5.1.0.2

Listen for incoming traps on the manager host (-f keeps it in the foreground, -Lo prints to stdout — useful for testing):

snmptrapd -f -Lo -c /dev/null authCommunity log public

Example snmptrapd log entry:

zoo11-linux.zoo [UDP: [192.168.30.111]:59577->[192.168.30.10]:162]:
  DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (503688377) 58 days, 7:08:03.77
  SNMPv2-MIB::snmpTrapOID.0 = OID: BGP4V2-MIB::bgp4V2BackwardTransitionNotification
