Description: Manages Wellfleet route filter and firewall combined policies for inter-zone traffic control.
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-RFWALL-MIB?
Wellfleet-RFWALL-MIB is a Wellfleet/Bay Networks vendor MIB combining route filtering and firewall functionality to control inter-zone traffic on the router. It exposes combined policy definitions spanning route filters and firewall rule sets, along with statistics on how those policies are applied to traffic between security zones. Monitoring this MIB is primarily about confirming the security/policy software is enforcing rules as intended; unexpectedly permissive rule matches or a policy showing no enforcement activity can indicate a firewall misconfiguration or a software fault in the policy engine. It builds directly on the base Wellfleet-RF-MIB route filter objects, extending them with firewall/zone concepts, so the two MIBs are used together. It is deployed on Wellfleet/Bay Networks routers acting as inter-zone security gateways in enterprise networks. Engineers can download the Wellfleet-RFWALL-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Wellfleet-RFWALL-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 router
Monitoring Examples
An administrator would poll the combined policy table to confirm inter-zone rules are active and check rule match counters to see which policies are being triggered by real traffic. A zone-to-zone policy with an unexpectedly high deny count could indicate a legitimate application being blocked, while zero hits on a rule meant to block known bad traffic could mean the policy isn't being applied. No sample object names were provided for this MIB, so this example is inferred from the stated short description.
What Can Be Monitored
- combined route filter/firewall policy configuration
- inter-zone traffic match counts
- policy enforcement statistics
