hpicfUdpFwdDhcpRelayClientDiscards

Module: HP-ICF-UDP-FORWARD

OID (symbolic): HP-ICF-UDP-FORWARD::hpicfUdpFwdDhcpRelayClientDiscards

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.23.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of DHCP client packets discarded by the relay agent for any reason.

What is hpicfUdpFwdDhcpRelayClientDiscards?

This read-only Counter32 tallies DHCP client packets that the relay agent discarded for any reason. A rising count signals malformed client requests or relay-side drops, which an admin can use to spot DHCP client connectivity problems before users report them. For example, seeing this counter climb after a firmware upgrade might point the admin toward a misconfigured relay policy dropping legitimate client broadcasts.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.23.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HP-ICF-UDP-FORWARD::hpicfUdpFwdDhcpRelayClientDiscards

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.23.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HP-ICF-UDP-FORWARD::hpicfUdpFwdDhcpRelayClientDiscards.1

Start monitoring HP ProCurve/Aruba switch (UDP broadcast/DHCP relay forwarding) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the HP-ICF-UDP-FORWARD::hpicfUdpFwdDhcpRelayClientDiscards OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any HP ProCurve/Aruba switch (UDP broadcast/DHCP relay forwarding) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select an HP ProCurve/Aruba switch (UDP broadcast/DHCP relay forwarding) 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 hpicfUdpFwdDhcpRelayClientDiscards into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The number of DHCP client packets discarded by the relay agent for any reason. 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.
