Description: This attribute indicates the current state of this BGP peer connection. The meaning of each state is as follows: idle - it is the initial state of the BGP peer connection. Error events will also cause BGP peer connection to transit to the idle state. connect - BGP has initiated a TCP connection request to this peer, and waiting for reply from that peer. active - BGP is not initiating a TCP connection request to this peer, because TCP connection failed and is waiting for connection retry time-out. openSent - a TCP connection to this peer has been established, but the OPEN message has not been successfully exchanged. openConfirm - OPEN message has been successfully exchanged with this peer, but the first KEEPALIVE message has not been received from that peer. established - the first KEEPALIVE message has been received from this peer, which means this BGP peer connection has been established. See RFC 1771 for a detailed description of BGP state transitions.

What is vrIpBgpPeerConnectionState?

The BGP finite-state-machine state of this peer session, from RFC 1771: idle (initial/error state), connect (TCP connection requested), active (retrying after a failed TCP attempt), openSent (TCP up, OPEN not yet exchanged), openConfirm (OPEN exchanged, awaiting first KEEPALIVE), or established (session fully up). Admins watch this to diagnose why a peer isn't coming up.
