BGP peer(s) down-checkpoint-gaia,ipso
Vendor: checkpoint
OS: gaia,ipso
Description:
Indeni will alert one or more BGP peers isn’t communicating well.
Remediation Steps:
Review the cause for the peers being down.
Consider reading Tobias Lachmann’s blog on BGP: https://blog.lachmann.org/?p=1771",
How does this work?
The clish command “show bgp peers” is used to retrieve the current BGP peer states.
Why is this important?
If BGP peers have connection issues it could mean whole sites going offline. Detecting it early is critical.
Without Indeni how would you find this?
An administrator could login and manually run the command.
