Description: Broadcom FastPath MIB for DHCP server configuration, address pools, and lease tracking on FastPath-based switches.

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-DHCPSERVER-PRIVATE-MIB?

FASTPATH-DHCPSERVER-PRIVATE-MIB is a Broadcom private enterprise MIB delivered as part of the FastPath software stack used on Broadcom-based Ethernet switches (OEM'd by vendors such as Dell and Brocade). It exposes configuration data for the switch's embedded DHCP server, including address pool definitions, lease bindings, and server-wide options. As a configuration/service-status MIB it is used mainly to confirm the DHCP server feature is enabled and functioning correctly and that address pools are not exhausted, rather than to track hardware health like temperature or fans. It depends on the switch's broader FastPath private MIB tree and complements standard interface and system MIBs already present on the device. It is typically deployed by administrators who use the switch's built-in DHCP service for small branch or IoT networks and want to poll pool utilization and lease status via SNMP rather than logging into the CLI. Engineers can download the FASTPATH-DHCPSERVER-PRIVATE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

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

  • Broadcom FastPath-based Ethernet switch
  • Dell/other OEM switches running FastPath firmware

Monitoring Examples

No sample objects were provided for this module, so specific table names cannot be confirmed from source; based on the description, a realistic monitoring scenario would involve polling DHCP address pool and lease tables to verify the server is issuing addresses and that pools have not run out of free leases.

What Can Be Monitored

  • DHCP server enabled state
  • address pool configuration
  • lease bindings
  • pool utilization/exhaustion

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using agentDhcpServerAutomaticBindingsNos OID:

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