[c-nsp] Identifying BGP route flapping

[Ibrahim Abo Zaid]

Hi Frank

you can use SNMP Notiications inform message to monitor BGP neighbor flaps ,
below is sample configuration can be used for a secure communication between
BGP router and NMS


1-define RO community string for SNMP communication between router and NMS

snmp-server community XXXX ro 10
access-list 10 deny any

2-enable SNMP notifications
snmp-server enable traps

3- enable SNMP BGP Informs notifcations
snmp-server host A.B.C.D informs version 2 XXXX bgp


regarding BGP MIB , kindly find below Cisco link

i hope that will solve ur problem :)

best regards
