DHCP Server Attributes

Use DHCP Server attributes to create situations to monitor Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) messages sent and received by the server, the average amount of processing time spent by the server per message packet, and the number of message packets dropped because of internal delays at the server. DHCP Server is a single-instance attribute group.


Acks/sec Rate of DHCP Acks (acknowledgments) sent by the DHCP server. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions.

Active Queue Length The number of packets in the processing queue of the DHCP server. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions.

Conflict Check Queue Length The number of packets in the DHCP server queue waiting on conflict detection (ping). Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions.

Declines/sec Rate of DHCP Declines received by the DHCP server. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions.

Discovers/sec Rate of DHCP Discovers received by the DHCP server. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions.

Duplicates Dropped/sec Rate at which the DHCP server received duplicate packets. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions.

Informs/sec Rate of DHCP Informs received by the DHCP server. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions.

Milliseconds Per Packet Average The average time per packet taken by the DHCP server to send a response. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions.

Nacks/sec Rate of DHCP Nacks (negative acknowledgments) sent by the DHCP server. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions.

Offers/sec Rate of DHCP Offers sent out by the DHCP server. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions.

Packets Expired/sec Rate at which packets get expired in the DHCP server message queue. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions.

Packets Received/sec Rate at which packets are received by the DHCP server. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions.

Releases/sec Rate of DHCP Releases received by the DHCP server. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions.

Requests/sec Rate of DHCP Requests received by the DHCP server. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions.
