EGPNEIGHTABLE attributes

Use the EGPNEIGHTABLE attributes to monitor an entry's EGP neighbors. The Management Information Base (MIB-II) detailed in RFC1213, for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets, establishes and defines the attributes of this group.

The EGPNEIGHTABLE attributes are available for the SNMP Data Provider.


Agent Name Identifies the SNMP host name relating to a particular sample of data. A valid entry is an alphanumeric text string, with a maximum length of 64 characters.

egpNeighAddr The IP address of this entry's EGP neighbor. A valid entry is an alphanumeric text string, with a maximum length of 32 characters.

egpNeighAs The autonomous system of this EGP peer. Always specify zero if the autonomous system number of the neighbor is not yet known. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

egpNeighEventTrigger Used to trigger operator-initiated Start and Stop events. When read, this control variable always returns the most recent value to which egpNeighEventTrigger was set. If it has not been set since the last initialization of the network management subsystem on the node, it returns a value of 'stop'.

When set, this variable causes a Start or Stop event on the specified neighbor, as specified on pages 8-10 of RFC 904. Briefly, a Start event causes an Idle peer to begin neighbor acquisition and a non-Idle peer to reinitiate neighbor acquisition. A stop event causes a non-Idle peer to return to the Idle state until a Start event occurs, either through egpNeighEventTrigger or otherwise. A valid entry is an alphanumeric text string, with a maximum length of 64 characters. Possible values include:

1 = start

2 = stop

egpNeighInErrs The number of EGP messages received from this EGP peer that proved to be in error. For example, bad EGP checksum. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

egpNeighState The EGP state of the local system with respect to this entry's EGP neighbor. Each EGP state is represented by a value that is one greater than the numerical value associated with said state in RFC 904. A valid entry is an alphanumeric text string, with a maximum length of 64 characters. Possible values include:

1 = idle

2 = acquisition

3 = down

4 = up

5 = cease

egpNeighInErrMsgs The number of EGP-defined error messages received from this EGP peer. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

egpNeighInMsgs The number of EGP messages received without error from this EGP peer. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

egpNeighIntervalHello The interval between EGP Hello command retransmissions (in hundredths of a second). This represents the t1 timer as defined in RFC 904. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

egpNeighIntervalPoll The interval between EGP poll command retransmissions (in hundredths of a second). This represents the t3 timer as defined in RFC 904. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

egpNeighMode The polling mode of this EGP entity, either passive or active. A valid entry is an alphanumeric text string, with a maximum length of 64 characters. Possible values include:

1 = active

2 = passive

egpNeighOutErrMsgs The number of EGP-defined error messages sent to this EGP peer. Valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

egpNeighOutErrs The number of locally generated EGP messages not sent to this EGP peer because of resource limitations within an EGP entity. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

egpNeighOutMsgs The number of locally generated EGP messages to this EGP peer. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

egpNeighStateDowns The number of EGP state transitions from the UP state to any other state with this EGP peer. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.

egpNeighStateUps The number of EGP state transitions to the UP state with this EGP peer. A valid entry is an integer of up to four digits.
