| When querying BGP peer status by SNMP (OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.15.3.1.2), sometimes BGP status is returned properly, but there can be random failures where FortiGate returns 'No Such Instance currently exists at this OID' for some VDOMs. [hgss-pql-gesture-tiger-inf ~]$ snmpwalk -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3user -a SHA -A "$auth_pass" -x AES -X "$priv_pass" 10.10.21.37 .1.3.6.1.2.1.15.3.1.2.10.101.5.206
