Description: Monitors Wellfleet IKE security association negotiations, phase1/phase2 states, and keying 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 Wellfleet-IKE-MIB?
Wellfleet-IKE-MIB is a vendor MIB from Wellfleet Communications (later Bay Networks/Nortel) covering the Internet Key Exchange protocol used to negotiate IPsec security associations on Wellfleet routers. It exposes configuration data for IKE peer/policy definitions and status objects tracking phase 1 and phase 2 negotiation state, along with keying and negotiation statistics. Its monitoring focus is on the software/security service status: an operator checks whether IKE phase 1 and phase 2 negotiations with a given peer are established and stable, since a stuck or repeatedly failing negotiation indicates a misconfigured pre-shared key, policy mismatch, or peer reachability problem breaking the VPN tunnel. It implements the IETF IKE standard (RFC 2409) so its phase/state model closely mirrors that specification. It is typically deployed on legacy Wellfleet/Bay Networks routers terminating site-to-site IPsec VPN tunnels in enterprise networks. Engineers can download the Wellfleet-IKE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Wellfleet-IKE-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
- Wellfleet/Bay Networks routers
- legacy IPsec VPN gateway routers
Monitoring Examples
An administrator would poll the IKE phase1/phase2 security association state objects for a given peer to confirm the VPN tunnel negotiation completed successfully, and a security association stuck in an incomplete or repeatedly re-negotiating state would reveal a pre-shared key mismatch or policy misconfiguration between the two VPN endpoints. No sample objects were listed in the source excerpt, so specific table/object names are inferred from standard IKE phase1/phase2 negotiation concepts rather than taken verbatim from the MIB.
What Can Be Monitored
- IKE phase1/phase2 negotiation state
- security association statistics
- peer policy configuration
- negotiation failure/retry counts
