bgp4PathAttrPeer OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX IpAddress
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The IP address of the peer where the path
information was learned."
::= { bgp4PathAttrEntry 1 }
bgp4PathAttrIpAddrPrefixLen OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER (0..32)
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"Length in bits of the IP address prefix
in the Network Layer Reachability
Information field."
::= { bgp4PathAttrEntry 2 }
bgp4PathAttrIpAddrPrefix OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX IpAddress
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"An IP address prefix in the Network Layer
Reachability Information field. This object
is an IP address containing the prefix with
length specified by
bgp4PathAttrIpAddrPrefixLen.
Any bits beyond the length specified by
bgp4PathAttrIpAddrPrefixLen are zeroed."
::= { bgp4PathAttrEntry 3 }
bgp4PathAttrOrigin OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER {
igp(1),-- networks are interior
egp(2),-- networks learned
-- via EGP
incomplete(3) -- undetermined
}
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The ultimate origin of the path
information."
::= { bgp4PathAttrEntry 4 }
bgp4PathAttrASPathSegment OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX OCTET STRING (SIZE (2..255))
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The sequence of AS path segments. Each AS
path segment is represented by a triple
<type, length, value>.
The type is a 1-octet field which has two
possible values:
1 AS_SET: unordered set of ASs a
route in the UPDATE
message has traversed
2 AS_SEQUENCE: ordered set of ASs
a route in the UPDATE
message has traversed.
The length is a 1-octet field containing the
number of ASs in the value field.
The value field contains one or more AS
numbers, each AS is represented in the octet
string as a pair of octets according to the
following algorithm:
first-byte-of-pair = ASNumber / 256;
second-byte-of-pair = ASNumber & 255;"
::= { bgp4PathAttrEntry 5 }
bgp4PathAttrNextHop OBJECT-TYPE

"The address of the border router that
should be used for the destination
network."
::= { bgp4PathAttrEntry 6 }
bgp4PathAttrMultiExitDisc OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER (-1..2147483647)
MAX-ACCESS read-only

DESCRIPTION
"This metric is used to discriminate
between multiple exit points to an
adjacent autonomous system. A value of -1
indicates the absence of this attribute."
::= { bgp4PathAttrEntry 7 }
bgp4PathAttrLocalPref OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER (-1..2147483647)
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The originating BGP4 speaker's degree of
preference for an advertised route. A
value of -1 indicates the absence of this
attribute."

::= { bgp4PathAttrEntry 9 }
bgp4PathAttrAggregatorAS OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER (0..65535)
MAX-ACCESS read-only

"The AS number of the last BGP4 speaker that
performed route aggregation. A value of
zero (0) indicates the absence of this
attribute."
::= { bgp4PathAttrEntry 10 }
bgp4PathAttrAggregatorAddr OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX IpAddress
MAX-ACCESS read-only

SYNTAX INTEGER (-1..2147483647)
MAX-ACCESS read-only

bgp4PathAttrUnknown OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX OCTET STRING (SIZE(0..255))
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"One or more path attributes not understood
by this BGP4 speaker. Size zero (0)
indicates the absence of such
attribute(s). Octets beyond the maximum
size, if any, are not recorded by this
object."
