### BGP Version (bgpVersion)

Vector of BGP version numbers that are supported. Each peer negotiates the version from this vector. Versions are identified through the string of bits in this object. The first octet contains bits 0 to 7, the second octet contains bits 8 to 15, and so on, with the most significant bit (MSB) referring to the lowest bit number in the octet; for example, the MSB of the first octet refers to bit 0. If a bit, say "i", is present and set, then the version (i+1) of the BGP is supported.

### Local AS No. (bgpLocalAs)

Number of the local autonomous system.
