[c-nsp] BGP SNMP Question, strangeness

[John Brown]

Hi.

I'm showing what appears to be bgp neighbors, yet those neighbor IP's
are not configured on our 6500 at the exchange.   This is causing our
monitoring system (Observium) to report "phantom" neighbors

here is a brief dump from snmp.

SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.15.3.1.1.32.1.4.24 = IpAddress: 129.250.0.71
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.15.3.1.1.32.1.5.4 = IpAddress: 203.117.34.253
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.15.3.1.1.32.1.24.24 = IpAddress: 0.0.0.0

the 32.1.4.24, 32.1.5.4 and 32.1.24.24 do NOT exist in our system.

This is based on the following SNMP query

snmpwalk -v2c -c <comstr>  <routername>  .1.3.6.1.2.1.15.3.1.1.32


When I do snmpwalk -v2c -c <comstr>  <routername>  .1.3.6.1.2.1.15.3.1.1

I get a nice list of BGP neighbors, where the more specific OID
matches peers on our system, save the three above.


Thoughts ???


thanks
