What is hm2DHCPServerCounterBootpRequests?

This OID counts received packets with BOOTREQUEST (message type 1) in the first octet that do not carry DHCP Option 53. A steady count here indicates legacy BOOTP clients, as opposed to modern DHCP clients, are being served on this interface.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.248.11.91.1.1.4.2.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HM2-DHCPS-MIB::hm2DHCPServerCounterBootpRequests

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.248.11.91.1.1.4.2.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HM2-DHCPS-MIB::hm2DHCPServerCounterBootpRequests.1

Start monitoring Hirschmann HiOS industrial Ethernet switch (DHCP server) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the HM2-DHCPS-MIB::hm2DHCPServerCounterBootpRequests OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Hirschmann HiOS industrial Ethernet switch (DHCP server) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Hirschmann HiOS industrial Ethernet switch (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 hm2DHCPServerCounterBootpRequests into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The number of packets received that contain a Message Type of 1 (BOOTREQUEST) in the first octet and do not contain option number 53 (DHCP Message Type) in the options. 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.
