Hi,

You need to be a little more specific about what exactly you want to monitor and what routing protocols.

For example, one of my team recently set up Nagios to check for the existence of specific BGP sessions and report if they go down.

That was the requirement: To alert on a subset of specific BGP sessions - and just on their being up and working or not.

This was implemented by an existing plugin and uses SNMP for the plugin to access the router(s).

But we don’t (at the moment) monitor (in Nagios) any other routing protocols, nor any details in BGP like number of prefixes.

So what *exactly* are you after? :)
