xbgp4PathAttrDistance
Module: XEDIA-BGP-MIB
OID (symbolic): XEDIA-BGP-MIB::xbgp4PathAttrDistance
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.1.11.1.4
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-only
Description: Administrative distance of the path.
What is xbgp4PathAttrDistance?
This read-only INTEGER (0..255) reports the administrative distance assigned to a given BGP path, used by the router's route selection process to rank routes from different sources. An admin reviews it when troubleshooting why one BGP path was preferred over another with a seemingly better AS-path or metric. A path with xbgp4PathAttrDistance of 20 (a typical eBGP distance) would generally be preferred over one from a source with distance 200 (a typical unreliable/last-resort value), all else equal.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.1.11.1.4 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> XEDIA-BGP-MIB::xbgp4PathAttrDistance
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.838.3.9.1.11.1.4.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> XEDIA-BGP-MIB::xbgp4PathAttrDistance.1
