stnBgpPathAttributeTlvLength
Module: STN-BGP-MIB
OID (symbolic): STN-BGP-MIB::stnBgpPathAttributeTlvLength
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.3551.2.12.5.1.6
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter32
Access: read-only
Description: Total length of all TLVs in the path attribute database.
What is stnBgpPathAttributeTlvLength?
This reports the total combined length, in bytes, of all TLV-encoded attributes stored in the path attribute database. Admins use it as a rough gauge of memory consumed by BGP attribute storage on the router. A steadily climbing value alongside stable route counts could point to unusually large AS paths or community lists bloating attribute storage.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3551.2.12.5.1.6 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> STN-BGP-MIB::stnBgpPathAttributeTlvLength
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3551.2.12.5.1.6.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> STN-BGP-MIB::stnBgpPathAttributeTlvLength.1
SNMPv3 example:
snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> stnBgpPathAttributeTlvLength.1
