What Is Wellfleet-MIP-MIB?
Wellfleet-MIP-MIB is a vendor MIB from Wellfleet Communications (later Bay Networks/Nortel) covering Mobile IP home agent and foreign agent functionality on Wellfleet routers, which allows a mobile node to maintain a permanent IP address while roaming across networks. It exposes configuration data for home/foreign agent parameters and status objects tracking mobile node registrations and active IP tunnels, along with related statistics. Its monitoring focus is on the software/service status of the mobility function: an operator checks registration counts and tunnel state to confirm mobile nodes are successfully registering and that home/foreign agent tunnels remain active, since a drop in registrations or a tunnel failure indicates a mobility service disruption. It implements the IETF Mobile IP standard (RFC 2002/3344), so its agent/registration/tunnel model closely follows that specification. It is typically deployed on legacy Wellfleet/Bay Networks routers acting as home or foreign agents in enterprise or service-provider mobile IP deployments. Engineers can download the Wellfleet-MIP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Wellfleet-MIP-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 Mobile IP home/foreign agent routers
Monitoring Examples
An administrator would poll the mobile node registration and tunnel status objects on a home or foreign agent to confirm active registrations and IP-in-IP tunnels remain established, and a sudden drop in registered mobile node count or a tunnel reporting a down state would reveal an agent misconfiguration or connectivity loss between home and foreign agents. No sample objects were listed in the source excerpt, so specific table/object names are inferred from standard Mobile IP agent/registration/tunnel concepts rather than taken verbatim from the MIB.
What Can Be Monitored
- mobile node registration status
- home/foreign agent tunnel state
- registration statistics
- agent configuration parameters
