Description: Monitors Aruba wireless controller IPv6 user session state, authentication status, and per-user traffic statistics.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is WLSX-USER6-MIB?

WLSX-USER6-MIB is an Aruba Networks (WLSX) proprietary MIB module that extends Aruba's wireless LAN controller management framework to cover IPv6-addressed wireless client sessions. It exposes per-user session data such as IPv6 address association, authentication/authorization state, and role or VLAN assignment, alongside per-user traffic statistics like packets and bytes sent and received. Administrators use it primarily to monitor the operational status of IPv6 client sessions on the controller — confirming a client authenticated successfully, tracking how long a session has been active, and watching traffic counters for signs of a stalled or misbehaving client, rather than tracking hardware health of the controller itself. It builds on Aruba's broader WLSX enterprise MIB tree and complements the IPv4 user-session MIB (WLSX-USER-MIB), sharing naming and indexing conventions with it. It is deployed on Aruba wireless LAN controllers/mobility controllers in enterprise networks that have enabled dual-stack (IPv4/IPv6) client access. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the WLSX-USER6-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in WLSX-USER6-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

Aruba mobility controller

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were provided for this MIB in the input, so no specific object or table names can be cited here. Based on the module description, the module would expose a per-client session table keyed by IPv6 address or session identifier, populated with authentication-state and traffic-counter fields. An administrator would typically poll such a table to spot-check that IPv6 clients are authenticating and passing traffic as expected, or to identify stale/hung sessions, though the exact object names cannot be confirmed from the available data.

What Can Be Monitored

IPv6 client session status (inferred)
authentication state per session (inferred)
session duration/uptime (inferred)
per-user traffic byte/packet counters (inferred)
