Description: Manages DHCPv6 server configuration, address pools, and lease assignment on Dell DNOS devices.

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 DNOS-DHCP6SERVER-PRIVATE-MIB?

DNOS-DHCP6SERVER-PRIVATE-MIB is a Broadcom-authored private MIB used within Dell's DNOS (Dell Network Operating System) to manage the DHCPv6 server and relay function running on Dell networking switches. It exposes configuration data for DHCPv6 operation: address pool definitions, server/relay mode settings, and lease-assignment tracking for IPv6 clients. Its monitoring relevance is primarily software/service status: confirming that the DHCPv6 server process is enabled and correctly issuing and tracking leases, rather than any physical hardware attribute. As a Broadcom-chipset-tied private MIB running under Dell's DNOS, it depends on the underlying Broadcom switching ASIC's DHCPv6 snooping/relay implementation and complements the standards-track DHCPv6 protocol itself. It is deployed on Dell enterprise/data-center switches that provide DHCPv6 services or relay for IPv6 client subnets. Engineers can download the DNOS-DHCP6SERVER-PRIVATE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in DNOS-DHCP6SERVER-PRIVATE-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

  • Dell DNOS-based enterprise/data-center switches (Broadcom silicon)

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were provided for this MIB; based on its description, a realistic scenario would involve an admin polling the DHCPv6 address-pool and lease tables to confirm the pool has not been exhausted and that leases are being renewed, and checking a server/relay enable object to verify the feature is still active after a configuration change.

What Can Be Monitored

  • DHCPv6 server/relay enable state
  • address pool utilization
  • lease assignments
  • pool configuration

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using agentDhcp6ServerMalformedMessagesReceived OID:

Select a Dell DNOS enterprise/data-center switch, Broadcom silicon (DHCPv6 server/relay) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type agentDhcp6ServerMalformedMessagesReceived into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The no. of malformed(truncated or corrupt) messages that have been received by the DHCPv6 server. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
