Description: Manages Xedia Corp. BGP peer sessions, route policy configuration, and routing table update statistics.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

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.

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.

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

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.
IP xbgp4PathAttrOrigId	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.1.11.1.2	IpAddress	read-only	The address of the originator of the route in the AS created by a route reflector.
OCT xbgp4PathAttrClusterList	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.1.11.1.3	OCTET STRING	read-only	The cluster list for a reflected path.
INT xbgp4PathAttrDistance	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.1.11.1.4	INTEGER	read-only	Administrative distance of the path.
INT xbgpConfiguredPeers	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.1.12	INTEGER	read-only	The number of peers currently configured.
INT xbgpEstablishedPeers	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.1.13	INTEGER	read-only	The number of peers currently configured and in the established state.
xbgpConformance	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.2
xbgpCompliances	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.2.1
xbgpCompliance	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.2.1.1			The compliance statement for all agents that support this MIB. A compliant agent implements all objects defined in this MIB.
xbgpGroups	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.2.2
xbgpAllGroup	1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.2.2.1			The set of all accessible objects in this MIB.
