Issue/Introduction

Hi Team,

We've noticed that the bgpBackwardTransition events from 2 out of 3 of our landscapes do not show the bgpPeerRemoteAddr variable.

Event code: 0x00220011
Cause code: 0x00220011
Event Message: A bgpBackwardTransition trap has been received for this device. The peer router is {S 5}, the current state is {T bgpPeerState 3}, and the LastError is {O 1}.

• An example is the following:

A bgpBackwardTransition trap has been received for this device. The peer router is , the current state is idle, and the LastError is 6.0.

• As you can see, the {S 5} is blank. However, the bgpEstablished trap event shows the bgpPeerRemoteAddr afterwards:

A bgpEstablished trap has been received for this device. The peer router is ***.***.***.***, the current state is established, and the LastError is 6.0.

Does anyone have an idea why or how is this the case? Another thing to point out is that the events from the other landscape are working fine and shows the remote address on both of the bgpBackwardTransition and bgpEstablished trap events. I checked the events using the Event Configuration and verified that those events are applied Globally and that the bgp traps are also applied on All landscapes.

Environment

Release : Any
Component: Spectrum Events

Cause

The code used to populate event variable 5 has been deprecated.

Resolution

Use the Event Configuration tool to modified the 0x00220011 Event Format file to use {A 2} instead of {S 5}.

Event00220011_en_US:

{d "%w- %d %m-, %Y - %T"} - A bgpBackwardTransition trap has been received for this device.  The peer router is {A 2}, the current state is {T bgpPeerState 3}, and the LastError is {O 1}. (event [{e}])

Additional Information

This modification will be changed out of the box in a future release of DX NetOps Spectrum.
