Netmond V2. BGP directive
The BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) directive creates and describes
second and third level subobjects in a Netmond hierarchy.
Second level subobject is BGP autonomous system number.
It is child of Object.
Third level subobjects are BGP peers (neighbors) IP addresses
this router interacts to.
Monitoring of this BGP subobjects is made by special
SNMP polling method Method
Router and by standard SNMP traps
Trap Generic bound to parent
Object.
During monitoring process BGP peers status checked
(IDLE, ACTIVE, ESTABLISHED,NONE)
and counters values are saved to internal variables (if Netmond
compiled with USE_BGP_COUNTERS option).
Built-in saving method Save BGP,
report all BGP peers status changes to a plain text file.
You may configure custom saving methods
for this BGP autonomous system.
BGP directive can be used only inside
Object definition block.
Directive syntax is:
- BGP number [ {
- [ Description "description" ]
- [ DataDir "directory" ]
- [ Peer "address" ] ...
- [ Save
( BGP | "name" ) [ "arguments" ] ] ...
- } ]
- Define Autonomous System on object, parameters and peers, saving methods.
- number
- Autonomous system number - BGP ASN - in range 1..65535.
- description
- Short one-line description.
- directory
- Alternative data saving directory in
Netmond hierarchy.
Default dirname is the autonomous system number with 'AS' prefix, for example AS8691.
- address
- Peer's network address. If no peers defined, Netmond look up
all peers in this AS and monitor them.
