Description: Manages DHCP server and relay configuration and lease statistics on Benu Networks subscriber gateway platforms.

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 BENU-DHCP-MIB?

BENU-DHCP-MIB is a vendor-specific MIB from Benu Networks that manages DHCP server and relay configuration and statistics on Benu subscriber Wireless Access Gateway (WAG) platforms, supporting both DHCPv4 and DHCPv6. It exposes bDhcpSubnetTable for per-subnet address-pool configuration (start/end address, mask, peak free/used address counts, high/low usage thresholds), bDhcpGlobalTable with extensive interval-based packet counters (bDhcpDiscoversRcvd, bDhcpOffersSent, bDhcpAcksSent, bDhcpNacksSent, bDhcpLeasesAssigned/Released/Expired/Renewed and their failure counterparts), plus parallel bDhcpSPWiFiGlobalTable and bDhcpHomeGlobalTable tables that break out the same statistics separately for Service-Provider WiFi and Home subscriber contexts, and a bDhcpv6GlobalTable covering the DHCPv6 message exchange (Solicit, Advertise, Request, Reply, Renew, Rebind, Confirm). This is a stats/configuration hybrid MIB that reveals both DHCP pool exhaustion risk and server-side protocol health. It depends on BENU-WAG-MIB for its enterprise OID anchor and INET-ADDRESS-MIB for address types, and is deployed on Benu Networks broadband/WiFi subscriber gateways handling large-scale DHCP address assignment. Operators of Benu WAG platforms load the BENU-DHCP-MIB MIB to monitor lease assignment health and subnet address-pool exhaustion.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in BENU-DHCP-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

  • Benu Networks subscriber Wireless Access Gateway (WAG) platforms

Monitoring Examples

An operator polls bDhcpSubnetTable to compare bDhcpSubnetPeakUsedAddresses against bDhcpSubnetTotalAddresses and the configured bDhcpSubnetUsedAddrHighThreshold, while watching bDhcpLeasesNotAssignFreeBuffUnavail in bDhcpGlobalTable; a subnet nearing its high-usage threshold alongside a rising leases-not-assigned counter would indicate imminent DHCP pool exhaustion for new subscriber logins.

What Can Be Monitored

  • subnet address pool usage and thresholds
  • DHCP discover/offer/request/ack/nack packet counters
  • lease assignment/renewal/expiration/release counters
  • DHCPv6 message exchange counters
  • SPWiFi and Home context DHCP statistics
  • BOOTP request/reply counters
