I had a question regarding how to fill up bgpM2AsPath4byteTable table as described in BGP4 MIBv2 (draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-mibv2). If a BGP speaker supports 4-byte AS space as described in RFC 4893 and stores the AS-PATH and AGGR attributes w/ 4-byte ASN, there won't be AS4-PATH and AS4-AGGR attributes in its RIB. It'll generate these attributes, if required, while advertising update to other speakers. BGP4 MIBv2 has bgpM2AsPath4bytePathPresent entry in bgpM2AsPath4byteTable table. It's description says that it's true if a NEW speaker is functioning between 2-byte and 4-byte AS space. It further says that the AS4-PATH and AS4-AGGR are present in this NEW speaker. My question is - for implementation mentioned above, how to fill up this table as AS4-PATH and AS4-AGGR are not present and generated on need basis? Let me know if I'm missing something here... Thanks, Kalpesh Extract from draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-mibv2-05 . . . bgpM2AsPath4bytePathPresent OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX TruthValue MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "This value may only be true if this BGP Speaker is functioning as a router between ASs that are in 2-byte and 4-byte AS space. If this value is true, then the NEW_AS_PATH attributes are present and the 4-byte versions of the appropriate path attributes are in this row. If this value is false, then the following values will be present in the row: bgpM2PathAttrAggregatorAS - zero (0). bgpM2AsPathCalcLength - zero (0). bgpM2AsPathString - zero (0) length string. bgpM2AsPathIndex - zero (0)." ::= { bgpM2AsPath4byteEntry 1 }
