Description: Manages DHCPv4 relay agent configuration and statistics on Ciena CES Carrier Ethernet switches.

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 CIENA-CES-DHCP-RELAY-MIB?

CIENA-CES-DHCP-RELAY-MIB is a Ciena enterprise MIB that manages the DHCPv4 relay agent function on Ciena CES Carrier Ethernet switches, allowing DHCP requests from clients to be forwarded to remote DHCP servers across network segments. It exposes configuration objects for relay agent settings (such as helper addresses and interface enablement) and statistics on relayed DHCP packets. As a software-feature MIB, it is used mainly to monitor the operational status of the DHCP relay service itself, including whether relay is enabled, packet forward/drop counts, and configuration consistency, rather than physical hardware health. It complements standard DHCP-related IETF MIBs and Ciena's broader CES management MIB family. It is typically deployed in access and aggregation switches where DHCP relay is required to support remote client provisioning in Carrier Ethernet access networks, where CIENA-CES-DHCP-RELAY-MIB SNMP monitoring confirms the relay service is actively forwarding client requests.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CIENA-CES-DHCP-RELAY-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

  • Ciena Carrier Ethernet Switch (CES)

Monitoring Examples

No object/table names were provided in the source data for this module, so specific instance names cannot be cited; however, a typical use would be polling relay-enabled interface status and forwarded/dropped DHCP packet counters to confirm that DHCP relay is actively passing client requests to the configured server and to detect misconfigured helper addresses causing dropped requests.

What Can Be Monitored

  • DHCP relay agent enable/disable status
  • relayed DHCP packet counts
  • dropped DHCP packet counts
  • configured helper/server addresses
