Description: DHCPv6 relay agent management MIB providing objects to configure IPv6 DHCP relay policies and monitor relay operation.
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 DHCPv6-RELAY-MGMT-MIB?
This is a private enterprise MIB (vendor not identified in the available source) providing management objects for a DHCPv6 relay agent running on a router or Layer 3 switch, the IPv6 counterpart to a DHCPv4 relay agent MIB. It exposes IPv6 DHCP relay policy configuration and objects for monitoring relay operation. As a monitoring module its value is confirming that IPv6 client requests are being correctly relayed toward the configured DHCPv6 server, and that relay operation counters/status reflect ongoing activity rather than a silently broken relay path. It builds on standard DHCPv6 relay concepts (RFC 3315) implemented as a vendor-specific management extension. It is deployed on dual-stack or IPv6 routers/switches that relay DHCPv6 requests across subnet boundaries, and network engineers configuring this feature typically start with a DHCPv6-RELAY-MGMT-MIB download to load its objects into their SNMP tooling.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in DHCPv6-RELAY-MGMT-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
- D-Link Corp. router/Layer 3 switch (DHCPv6 relay agent) — Identified as D-Link Corp. via the module's own ORGANIZATION field, not 'vendor not identified' as previously described.
Monitoring Examples
No specific object or table names were included in the source excerpt for this module; based on its description, an administrator would poll IPv6 relay policy/configuration objects to confirm the correct DHCPv6 server address is targeted for a given interface, and relay operation status/counters to verify requests are actually being forwarded -- a policy pointing at the wrong server address would typically manifest as IPv6 clients failing to obtain an address while the relay itself appears up.
What Can Be Monitored
- IPv6 DHCP relay policy configuration
- relay operation status/counters
