Description: Monitors BGP peer states, AS path tables, and routing policy information on Netgear managed switches.

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 NETGEAR-BGP-MIB?

NETGEAR-BGP-MIB is a Netgear enterprise MIB (described as part of a "Border Gateway Protocol Flex package") that provides management objects for monitoring the state of BGP routing sessions and related routing-policy information on Netgear managed switches/routers with routing capability. Although no sample objects were supplied, a MIB of this nature would typically expose BGP peer tables (peer state, AS number, session uptime), AS-path attributes learned from routes, and policy/filter configuration applied to BGP neighbors. Its monitoring value is centered on software/protocol status -- specifically whether BGP peering sessions are established or flapping, how long a peer session has been up, and whether routing policy is correctly filtering advertised or received routes -- which are essential indicators of WAN/routing health rather than physical hardware. It is built on and depends conceptually on the standard BGP4-MIB (RFC 4273) framework, adapting it for Netgear's routing feature set. It is typically deployed on Netgear's higher-end managed switches/routers used at network edges where dynamic BGP peering with an ISP or between sites is required. Engineers can download the NETGEAR-BGP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NETGEAR-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

Netgear managed switch/router with BGP routing capability

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were provided for this MIB, so specific table or object names cannot be confirmed; based on the module description, a plausible (unconfirmed) monitoring use would be polling BGP peer state and AS-path tables to detect a peer session transitioning out of the Established state, which would indicate a routing adjacency failure, but this cannot be grounded in the given sample data.

What Can Be Monitored

BGP peer session state
peer AS number
AS-path route attributes
routing policy/filter configuration

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using agentBGPInOpens OID:

Select a Netgear managed switch/router with BGP routing capability 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 agentBGPInOpens into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The total number of BGP OPEN messages received since BGP counters were last cleared. 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.
