I was looking at monitoring route changes for a customer.
(Un)fortunately they have a very resilient network and devices don't
become unreachable upon failure of pretty much anything. Typically they
have 2 main MPLS circuits and a backup mesh VPN (not adjacent to
customer equipment).
I looked at using SNMP to report routing table changes, its pretty
static unless we make changes. The best I could do was monitor a mib
route change counter. This counter starts at 0 and just keeps going up.
Never does it go back down to 0 after a certain period, so pretty
useless. I'm sure there must be a way without doing something daft like
rmon but I'm not a CCIE and don't know how.
Used different loopback interfaces in the end to determine when the
primary network was down. Still can't tell if we loose one of the main
circuits though as they are connected behind CPEs. I hope the SP can.
Ooow look, the lights off

Hi Ryan,
How about informational logging? If that doesn't help, I can think of
'sh ip
route summary' will give you a list of your subnets. So, if you
maintain
that you can get the difference as a new addition or deletion.
Thanks.
