What is parDhcpTotalNoOfDeclines?

This counter tracks the total number of DHCPDECLINE messages the server has received, where a client rejected an offered address because it detected the address was already in use. A rising count can point to IP address conflicts on the network. For example, an admin seeing this counter increase might investigate a scope for address conflicts, possibly caused by statically assigned devices overlapping the DHCP pool.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.3.1.8
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DHCP-MIB::parDhcpTotalNoOfDeclines

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.3.1.8.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DHCP-MIB::parDhcpTotalNoOfDeclines.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> parDhcpTotalNoOfDeclines.1
