Description: Broadcom FastPath MIB for DHCPv6 server configuration and lease management on FastPath-based network equipment.

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 FASTPATH-DHCP6SERVER-PRIVATE-MIB?

This Broadcom FASTPATH private MIB provides DHCPv6 server and relay configuration and lease management for FASTPATH-based switches, allowing the device to hand out or relay IPv6 address leases to clients on its network. It would be expected to expose server-level configuration (enable state, pool/prefix configuration) and lease-table style data tracking active DHCPv6 client bindings. Its monitoring value centers on service/software status — confirming the DHCPv6 server or relay function is enabled and operating, and reviewing the active lease table to see how many IPv6 addresses have been allocated and to which clients, which helps detect address pool exhaustion or a misbehaving relay. As a FASTPATH-family private MIB it has no explicit tie to a standard IETF DHCPv6 MIB, being a vendor-private implementation, and is used alongside sibling FASTPATH-*-PRIVATE-MIB modules on the same device. It is deployed on FASTPATH-based switches (various OEM brands) used as a lightweight DHCPv6 server/relay for IPv6 client address assignment in small-to-mid-size networks, where FASTPATH-DHCP6SERVER-PRIVATE-MIB SNMP monitoring helps catch address pool exhaustion.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in FASTPATH-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

  • FASTPATH-based Ethernet switch (multiple OEM brands)

Monitoring Examples

No sample object names were available for this MIB, so a concrete polling example cannot be grounded in real names; based on the feature it implements, an admin would be expected to poll a DHCPv6 server/relay enable-state object and a client lease table to confirm the service is active and to check current lease utilization against the configured address pool/prefix.

What Can Be Monitored

  • DHCPv6 server/relay enable state
  • active client lease bindings
  • IPv6 address pool utilization

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using agentDhcp6ServerMalformedMessagesReceived OID:

Select a Broadcom FastPath-based Ethernet switch (multi-vendor OEM) (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.
