Description: Manages DHCP server pools, lease assignments, and server configuration on Dell DNOS routing 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 DNOS-DHCPSERVER-PRIVATE-MIB?

DNOS-DHCPSERVER-PRIVATE-MIB is a Broadcom/Dell private MIB that manages the DHCP server function on Dell DNOS routing platforms, covering DHCP address pools, lease assignments, and server configuration. It exposes configuration data (pool definitions, scope parameters) as well as operational/status data such as current lease assignments. From a monitoring standpoint it supports software service-status checks, letting an administrator confirm the DHCP server process is configured correctly and actively leasing addresses, and spot pool exhaustion which is a common operational fault. It is a Broadcom/Dell-private extension with no stated dependency on standard IETF DHCP MIBs. It is deployed on Dell DNOS switches/routers that provide DHCP services to directly attached client networks. Engineers can download the DNOS-DHCPSERVER-PRIVATE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in DNOS-DHCPSERVER-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 router/switch

Monitoring Examples

No sample_objects were supplied; based on the description an admin would poll DHCP pool and lease-related objects (a plausible dhcpPoolTable/dhcpLeaseTable) to track how many addresses in a scope are currently leased versus free. Approaching full pool utilization would signal impending address exhaustion requiring a larger scope or additional pool. This is inferred from the short description since no concrete object names were provided.

What Can Be Monitored

  • DHCP pool configuration
  • address lease assignments
  • pool utilization
  • server configuration state

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using agentDhcpServerAutomaticBindingsNos OID:

Select a Dell Networking OS (DNOS) switch/router (embedded DHCP server) 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 agentDhcpServerAutomaticBindingsNos into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The no. of IP addresses that have been assigned automatically. 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 sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
