rbnBpaInPacketCount

Module: RBN-BGP-ACCOUNTING-MIB

OID (symbolic): RBN-BGP-ACCOUNTING-MIB::rbnBpaInPacketCount

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2352.2.20.1.1.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter64

Access: read-only

Description: The total number of packets received for a particular bgp routing policy on an interface.

What is rbnBpaInPacketCount?

This object counts the total number of packets received that matched a specific BGP routing policy applied on this interface. Admins use this counter to see how much traffic a given BGP policy, such as a route-map or prefix filter, is actually processing, which is useful for confirming a policy is being hit or for capacity planning. For example, a steadily climbing rbnBpaInPacketCount confirms inbound traffic is actively matching the associated BGP policy, while a flat counter suggests the policy is never triggered.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2352.2.20.1.1.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RBN-BGP-ACCOUNTING-MIB::rbnBpaInPacketCount

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2352.2.20.1.1.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RBN-BGP-ACCOUNTING-MIB::rbnBpaInPacketCount.1

Start monitoring Redback SmartEdge router (BGP-policy-based traffic accounting) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the RBN-BGP-ACCOUNTING-MIB::rbnBpaInPacketCount OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Redback SmartEdge router (BGP-policy-based traffic accounting) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Redback SmartEdge router (BGP-policy-based traffic accounting) 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 rbnBpaInPacketCount 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 packets received for a particular bgp routing policy on an interface. 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 Counter64-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.
