warning

Message format string

$subject$: trying to set $varname$ to $tryval$ - valid range is [$minval$-$maxval$] - setting to $finalval$

Cause

The event is caused by setting some variable through a MIB that is outside the valid range accepted by the application. The system gets into this scenario when the agent is not able to catch the variable range violation because from the perspective of the MIB variable that is being set it is an acceptable value. e.g. min-route-advertisement has a range in the Nokia MIB that is more strict than the standard BGP4 MIB. Although the agent will allow larger range values for this MIB variable the BGP implementation will reject it as it is restricted by the Nokia BGP MIB.

Effect

The set value is not accepted but the closest valid value to the set value is accepted.

Hex dump: $tBgp4PathAttribute$

Cause

The tBgp4PathAttrDiscarded notification is generated when a path attribute tBgp4PathAttribute is discarded from an UPDATE message. A path attribute may be discarded because it is malformed.

Effect

A log entry is generated for each path attribute discarded from an UPDATE message. The UPDATE message continues to be processed.

(ASN $tBgpASN4Byte$) $vRtrID$: BGP Peer: $tBgpPeerNgAddr$, Route invalid Reason - $tBgpRouteInvalidReason$

NLRI - $tBgpRouteNLRI$

Cause

The tBgp4RouteInvalid notification is generated when the received route is invalid for a specific reason and the route cannot be used or advertised further.

Effect

The BGP peer ignores the route and flags the path attribute and the route so that the peer/tribe that was attempting to advertise the associated route can skip this route. The BGP peering is not torn down in this case.

Effect

The BGP peer does not create an IP filter entry for the received flow route even if the NLRI (Network Layer Reachability Information) has valid extended community actions.
