Description: Manages Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) peer configuration and routing table on Data Connection platforms.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is DC-BGP-MIB?

DC-BGP-MIB is a Data Connection Ltd. (DC) MIB for managing the BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) implementation within DC's licensed routing protocol software stack, covering BGP peer session configuration and the routes learned or advertised via BGP. Although no specific object names were supplied, based on its stated purpose it would typically expose peer state (idle/connect/established), peer AS number, and route counts, similar in spirit to the standard BGP4-MIB. Its monitoring value would be BGP session/software-status oriented: tracking peer session state transitions reveals routing adjacency flaps or configuration mismatches, and route-table objects let an operator confirm expected routes are being learned or advertised. It likely depends on DC-MASTER-TC for shared textual conventions used across DC's routing protocol MIB suite (BGP, OSPF, etc.). It is deployed on network devices running Data Connection's licensed routing protocol stack, typically embedded within OEM router/switch vendor products. Engineers can download the DC-BGP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in DC-BGP-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • router/switch running the Data Connection (DC) routing protocol software stack

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were supplied for this module. Based on its documented purpose of BGP peer and routing table management, a typical use would be polling per-peer session state to detect a flapping or down BGP adjacency, but specific object/table names cannot be confirmed without consulting the source MIB.

What Can Be Monitored

  • BGP peer session state
  • peer AS number
  • routes received/advertised
  • peer session uptime

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using bgpRmEntNumAroRoutes OID:

Select a Router/switch running Data Connection (DC) routing protocol software stack (BGP) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type bgpRmEntNumAroRoutes into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The total number of Adj-RIB-Out routes currently allocated across all Adj-RIBs-Out. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
