This is the conceptual row (entry) definition for the classic MIB-1 EGP (Exterior Gateway Protocol) Neighbor Table (egpNeighTable), representing one row of state and statistics for a configured EGP neighbor relationship; the source MIB provides no DESCRIPTION text for this row object beyond its SYNTAX and table linkage. Admins on legacy EGP-speaking routers use this table to monitor the state of neighbor relationships with adjacent autonomous systems, a role since superseded by BGP on modern networks. For illustration, walking this table on a legacy router running EGP would show a row per configured neighbor, including its current protocol state such as Idle, Acquisition, or Up.
