Description: Defines managed objects for monitoring and managing Mobile IPv6 entities, including binding cache entries and registration statistics.

IPNetwork Monitor uses several OIDs from this MIB in network discovery and polling the applicable devices. Start monitoring MOBILEIPV6-MIB with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor.

What Is MOBILEIPV6-MIB?

MOBILEIPV6-MIB is a vendor-neutral IETF standards MIB, defined in RFC 4295, for monitoring and managing Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) entities on network nodes. It exposes data about mobility bindings, including binding cache entries and home-agent/mobile-node registration state, along with related mobility statistics counters. It is used to monitor the software/protocol status of Mobile IPv6 operation, letting an admin check binding cache entries to confirm mobile nodes are correctly registered with a home agent and track registration statistics to detect authentication failures or expired bindings. It depends on the base IPv6 addressing MIB for interface and address conventions, since MIPv6 objects reference IPv6 addresses and interfaces. It is typically deployed on mobile-IP-capable routers, home agents, and mobile nodes in IPv6 mobility deployments such as mobile carrier networks or mobile research testbeds. Engineers implementing or auditing this functionality typically reference the MOBILEIPV6-MIB RFC/standard documentation for the authoritative specification.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in MOBILEIPV6-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, not tied to a specific manufacturer
  • IPv6 mobile nodes, home agents, and mobility-capable routers

Monitoring Examples

No specific object or table names were provided for this module, so a precise polling example cannot be constructed with grounded identifiers. In practice, an administrator monitoring Mobile IPv6 would poll the binding cache table to verify a mobile node's care-of address registration and check registration statistics counters to detect repeated failed home-agent registrations. A rising count of failed registrations for a given mobile node would indicate an authentication or connectivity problem affecting that roaming device.

What Can Be Monitored

  • Mobile IPv6 binding cache entries
  • home agent registration status
  • mobility registration statistics
  • mobile node care-of address state
