OID (symbolic): HMDHCPS-SNMP-MIB::hmDHCPServerCounterBootpRequests

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.248.14.16.1.4.2.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

What is hmDHCPServerCounterBootpRequests?

This read-only counter tallies BOOTP request packets received on this interface (Message Type 1 without a DHCP Option 53), which an admin checks to confirm legacy BOOTP clients are actually reaching the server.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.248.14.16.1.4.2.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HMDHCPS-SNMP-MIB::hmDHCPServerCounterBootpRequests

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.248.14.16.1.4.2.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HMDHCPS-SNMP-MIB::hmDHCPServerCounterBootpRequests.1

Start monitoring Hirschmann industrial switch/router (built-in DHCP server) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the HMDHCPS-SNMP-MIB::hmDHCPServerCounterBootpRequests OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Hirschmann industrial switch/router (built-in DHCP server) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Hirschmann industrial switch/router (built-in 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 hmDHCPServerCounterBootpRequests 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.
