Hi SwiNOGers,
I started searching the web for a good solution on this task years ago. There was and is as far I can tell no actual SNMP MIB for monitoring IPv6 BGP and OSPFv3. The only thing that could be a solution is this already expired IETF draft http://tools.ietf.or/html/draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-mibv2-10
Can anyone give me an idea of how you are monitoring your IPv6 BGP peers and OSPFv3 neighbors (stuff like Status, prefixes, etc..)?
Thanks a lot, best regards Marco

Depending on the device, telnet/ssh into it, execute the relevant 'show bgp neigh' command and use that.
Not ideal and one has to do this generally for a variety of things, but it avoids this weird thing called SNMP ;)
Greets, Jeroen
here's a bunch of tools I developed for Sunrise: http://sourceforge.net/projects/toponet/
If I would do it now, I would do it with gerty: https://github.com/ssinyagin/gerty
Thanks for the answers. Maybe I've to clarify that I need this for Cisco only at the moment. So can I take this as a "there is no working snmp mib / implementation" yet?
It's somehow a shame that Cisco has IPv6 routing protocols working for years and no working snmp (even not a proprietary) solution yet. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I'll have a look at gerty, sounds promising, also for other applications, but I'm still looking for an snmp solution because it's just ugly to use console commands (in whatever way) to query simple counters and status information when you already have the whole network monitored and graphed by snmp.

BGP peering information (ipv6 and 32-bit ASN) is simply not available via SNMP -- on both Cisco and Juniper. So, you end up with CLI parsing if you really need that.
With Junipers, there's also an XML interface which is easier to process and is more reliable (with Cisco CLI, linebreaks are sometimes a pain).
IOS XR also provides an XML interface, but I never had a chance to check if BGP peering information is in there.

okay I see. That confirms my suspicion :) Thanks.
So, you end up with CLI parsing if you really need that.
Why should someone don't need to monitor IPv6? You simply have to if your services and customers depend on IPv6.
So I guess I'll write or search for a "CLI to SNMP" or "CLI to cacti / icinga" script that does the job. Maybe gerty can help here... If anyone has similar scripts laying around please post it if possible.
Also I would welcome a few more ideas and examples of how other ISPs do that...
Thanks have a nice weekend

Hi,
Just posting some information I sent to marco this week that may be of interest to some of you. Cheers.
