egpNeighEventTrigger
Module: CHECKPOINT-MIB-2
OID (symbolic): CHECKPOINT-MIB-2::egpNeighEventTrigger
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.8.5.1.15
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: A control variable used to trigger operator- initiated Start and Stop events. When read, this variable always returns the most recent value that egpNeighEventTrigger was set to. If it has not been set since the last initialization of the network management subsystem on the node, it returns a value of `stop'.
When set, this variable causes a Start or Stop event on the specified neighbor, as specified on pages 8-10 of RFC 904. Briefly, a Start event causes an Idle peer to begin neighbor acquisition and a non-Idle peer to reinitiate neighbor acquisition. A stop event causes a non-Idle peer to return to the Idle state until a Start event occurs, either via egpNeighEventTrigger or otherwise.
What is egpNeighEventTrigger?
A control variable used to trigger operator-initiated Start or Stop events for this EGP neighbor relationship, always reading back the last value it was set to, defaulting to stop if never set since the last management-subsystem restart. This is the write-based lever an admin uses to manually force a specific legacy EGP peering relationship to restart or tear down without needing device console access, useful for manually recovering a stuck relationship. Example: setting egpNeighEventTrigger to start(1) on a peer stuck in idle(1) is the SNMP-based equivalent of manually kicking that specific peering relationship to try establishing again.
