What is ppeEgpPreference?

This read-write INTEGER sets the value assigned to ipRouteMetric2 when an EGP-learned entry is added to the IP Routing Table, ranking EGP routes against static, RIP, and OSPF sources. An administrator typically sets this conservatively since EGP is treated as a legacy fallback protocol. For example, the admin sets ppeEgpPreference to a less favorable value than the other preferences since EGP is kept only as a backup path on this network.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.97.3.3.3.17
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CTATX-MIB::ppeEgpPreference

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.97.3.3.3.17.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CTATX-MIB::ppeEgpPreference.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.97.3.3.3.17.1 i <value>

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> ppeEgpPreference.1
