bgp4V2PeerOutTotalMessages
Module: FOUNDRY-BGP4V2-MIB
OID (symbolic): FOUNDRY-BGP4V2-MIB::bgp4V2PeerOutTotalMessages
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.3.5.1.1.7.1.4
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter32
Access: read-only
Description: The total number of messages transmitted to the remote peer on this connection.
What is bgp4V2PeerOutTotalMessages?
This counter tracks the total number of all BGP message types transmitted to a specific peer. Admins reference this to verify the local router is actively communicating with the peer at the protocol level, beyond just route updates. For example, a steadily climbing count here even when bgp4V2PeerOutUpdates stays flat confirms KEEPALIVE messages are still being sent and the session is healthy.
