What Is XEDIA-BGP-MIB?
XEDIA-BGP-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from Xedia Corporation (a maker of multiservice access/routing platforms) that extends standard BGP management, an area of core IP routing, beyond what RFC 1657 and its successor drafts define. It exposes BGP peer session configuration and state, route-reflection/clustering settings, and limits/counts on routes and paths, alongside peer-table data per neighbor. Its monitoring emphasis is on routing-protocol software health: administrative vs operational status of BGP (xbgpAdminStatus/xbgpOperStatus), whether route reflection is enabled with its cluster ID, and whether configured maximum routes/paths/peers are being approached or exceeded, all of which reveal control-plane stress or misconfiguration before it causes routing instability. It explicitly builds on and supplements the standard BGP4 MIB (RFC 1657) rather than replacing it. It is deployed on Xedia routers acting as BGP speakers in enterprise or service-provider IP networks. Engineers can download the XEDIA-BGP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in XEDIA-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.
What Can Be Monitored
- BGP peer session status
- established vs configured peer count
- route reflection configuration
- cluster ID
- maximum routes/paths thresholds
- BGP admin/operational status
Supported Devices
- Xedia multiservice access router
Monitoring Examples
An operator would poll xBgpPeerTable/xBgpPeerEntry to check each neighbor's session status alongside xbgpEstablishedPeers versus xbgpConfiguredPeers to spot peers that have dropped out of an established state. Comparing xbgpOperationalMaxRoutes against xbgpConfiguredMaxRoutes, or xbgpOperationalMaxPaths against xbgpConfiguredMaxPaths, would reveal if the router is nearing a configured routing-table capacity limit. Checking xbgpReflection and xbgpClusterId confirms route-reflector configuration is applied as intended within an AS.
OIDs
| OID symbolic | OID numeric | Type | Access | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| xediaBgpMIB | 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9 | This module defines additional objects for management of BGP in Xedia devices, above and beyond what is defined in the standard rfc1657, and proposed drafts. | ||
| xbgpObjects | 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.1 | |||
| INT xbgpAdminStatus | 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.1.1 | INTEGER | read-create | The administrative status of BGP in the router. It is the desired state of BGP. The value 'enabled(1)' indicates that the BGP process should be active in the router, while 'disabled(2)' indicates that BGP shold not be active in the router. |
| INT xbgpOperStatus | 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.1.2 | INTEGER | read-only | The current operational state of BGP on the router. |
| INT xbgpReflection | 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.1.3 | INTEGER | read-create | The administrative status of BGP route reflection. The value 'full(1)' indicates that BGP will perform full route reflection among client and non-client peers. A value of 'nonClientToClient(2)' indicates that routes will only be reflected between clients and non-clients, not among clients. A value of 'none(3)' indicates that no reflection will occur, regardless of the specific peer configuration. |
| INT xbgpClusterId | 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.1.4 | INTEGER | read-create | The route reflector cluster id used when there are multiple route reflectors in a cluster. |
| INT xbgpConfiguredMaxRoutes | 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.1.5 | INTEGER | read-create | The maximum number of routed Networks in the internal Route Table. It is the maximum total number of Dest/Mask (network) route entries. Depending upon system configuration and the number of route entries in the route table that are destination addresses with multple masks, it may not be possible to have a route table with the maximum number of routed networks. If this variable is changed, it will not take effect until the box is reset. |
| INT xbgpOperationalMaxRoutes | 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.1.6 | INTEGER | read-only | The maximum number of routed Networks in the internal Route Table. It is the maximum total number of Dest/Mask (network) route entries. Depending upon system configuration and the number of route entries in the route table that are destination addresses with multple masks, it may not be possible to have a route table with the maximum number of routed networks. If this variable is changed, it will not take effect until the box is reset. |
| INT xbgpConfiguredMaxPaths | 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.1.7 | INTEGER | read-create | |
| INT xbgpOperationalMaxPaths | 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.1.8 | INTEGER | read-only | |
| xBgpPeerTable | 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.1.10 | not-accessible | A list of BGP Peer entries. | |
| xBgpPeerEntry | 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.1.10.1 | not-accessible | An entry containing additional management information applicable to a particular BGP Peer. | |
| ROW xbgpPeerRowStatus | 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.1.10.1.1 | RowStatus | read-create | This variable displays the status of the entry. Setting it to 'destroy' or 'notInService' removes the entry from the table. Setting it to either 'create', or 'active' will add a row to the table. |
| T/F xbgpPeerReflectionClient | 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.1.10.1.2 | TruthValue | read-create | Enables a peer to receive IBGP routes reflected from this speaker. |
| xBgp4PathAttrTable | 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.1.11 | not-accessible | A list of BGP Peer entries. | |
| xBgp4PathAttrEntry | 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.1.11.1 | not-accessible | An entry containing additional management information applicable to a particular BGP Path. | |
| OCT xbgp4PathAttrCommunity | 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.1.11.1.1 | OCTET STRING | read-only | The Community attribute specified for a path. |
