Are you trying it against  Cisco router? This appears to be a Cisco
proprietary MIB and it would be evry unlikely that any other brand of
router support it.

If it's a Cisco, make sure it support the CISCO-BGP4-MIB. Otherwise, I'm
afraid you'll have to check with your vendor on how to monitor it with
SNMP and write your own script or use check_snmp to monitor it.
