BGP peer status table. This table reports BGP peer status and statistics. It also allows a user to control BGP peer statistics and peer sessions. This table does not contain any BGP peer configuration - the bgpPeerTable MIB is the BGP peer configuration MIB. This table contains entries for both configured and dynamic peers. For configured peers the corresponding rows in the bgpPeerTable MIB and bgpPeerStatusTable MIB have identical index fields. The lifetime of a BGP peer status entry depends on whether the BGP peer is configured or dynamic. - The entry for a configured peer is created and destroyed when the corresponding entry in the BGP peer configuration table (bgpPeerTable) is created and destroyed. - The entry for a dynamic peer is created when the BGP peering session is established. It is destroyed when the BGP session has terminated and the graceful restart timer has expired. Unless the BGP session is re-established during the graceful restart period the entry persists for only a short period after BGP session termination, and if graceful restart is not in use then the entry is destroyed as soon as the BGP session terminates.
