Description: The EGP state of the local system with respect to this entry's EGP neighbor. Each EGP state is represented by a value that is one greater than the numerical value associated with said state in RFC 904.

What is egpNeighState?

Reports the EGP state, idle, acquisition, down, up, or cease, of the local system's relationship with a specific EGP neighbor, using values one greater than the RFC 904 numbering. This state machine is only relevant if the gateway has an EGP neighbor configured at all, rare today; if it is configured, a neighbor stuck below up(4) is the direct indicator that a legacy exterior route peering has failed to establish. Example: egpNeighState reporting down(3) for a supposedly active legacy EGP peer would explain routes expected via that neighbor being missing from the routing table.
