egpOutMsgs
Module: CHECKPOINT-MIB-2
OID (symbolic): CHECKPOINT-MIB-2::egpOutMsgs
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.8.3
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter
Access: read-only
Description: The total number of locally generated EGP messages.
What is egpOutMsgs?
The total number of locally generated EGP messages sent by this device. Since Check Point gateways in modern deployments don't run EGP, this counter should remain at zero, making it a low-value monitoring target except as a sanity check that no legacy EGP configuration is silently still active. Example: confirming egpOutMsgs stays at zero during a configuration audit is a quick way to verify no forgotten EGP peering exists on that gateway.
