Definitions of Managed Objects for the Fourth Version of the
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP-4) using SMIv2

Status of this Memo

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

1. Introduction

This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it describes managed objects used for managing the
Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 or lower [1, 2].

2. The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework

The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework consists of four major
components. They are:

RFC 1442 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for describing
and naming objects for the purpose of management.

STD 17, RFC 1213 defines MIB-II, the core set of managed objects
forthe Internet suite of protocols.

RFC 1445 which defines the administrative and other architectural
aspects of the framework.

RFC 1448 which defines the protocol used for network access to
managed objects.

The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
experimentation and evaluation.

Willis, Burruss & Chu [Page 1]

RFC 1657 BGP-4 MIB July 1994

3. Object Definitions

Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are
defined using the subset of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1)
defined in the SMI. In particular, each object type is named by an
OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name. The object
type together with an object instance serves to uniquely identify a
specific instantiation of the object. For human convenience, we
often use a textual string, termed the descriptor, to refer to the
object type.

4. Overview

These objects are used to control and manage a BGP-4 implementation.

Apart from a few system-wide scalar objects, this MIB is broken into
three tables: the BGP Peer Table, the BGP Received Path Attribute
Table, and the BGP-4 Received Path Attribute Table. The BGP Peer
Table contains information about state and current activity of
connections with the BGP peers. The Received Path Attribute Table
contains path attributes received from all peers running BGP version
3 or less. The BGP-4 Received Path Attribute Table contains path
attributes received from all BGP-4 peers. The actual attributes used
in determining a route are a subset of the received attribute tables
after local routing policy has been applied.
