What Is JUNIPER-JDHCPV6-MIB?
JUNIPER-JDHCPV6-MIB is a Juniper Networks proprietary MIB module (part of the JUNOS DHCP MIB set) for managing the local DHCPv6 server function on Juniper routers, supporting IPv6 address assignment and prefix delegation. It belongs to Juniper's JUNOS enterprise MIB family focused on DHCP services. It exposes primarily performance/fault counters for the DHCPv6 server process: total and reason-coded dropped-packet counts (bad SAFD, bad send, short packet, bad message type, bad options, bad source address, relay hop count exceeded, no client ID) and message-type counters (DECLINE, SOLICIT, INFORMATION-REQUEST received), which together reveal the software health of the DHCPv6 service. Rising drop counters in specific categories point directly to malformed client/relay traffic or misconfiguration, making this a diagnostic MIB for DHCPv6 service reliability rather than hardware sensors. It conceptually depends on the DHCPv6 protocol standard (RFC 3315) for its message semantics, and is deployed on Juniper routers acting as local DHCPv6 servers in IPv6 access/edge networks. Engineers can download the JUNIPER-JDHCPV6-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in JUNIPER-JDHCPV6-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
- Juniper Networks routers running JUNOS (DHCPv6 local server role)
Monitoring Examples
An administrator would poll jnxJdhcpv6LocalServerTotalDropped alongside the reason-specific counters like jnxJdhcpv6LocalServerBadOptionsDropped, jnxJdhcpv6LocalServerNoClientIdDropped, or jnxJdhcpv6LocalServerRelayHopCountDropped to pinpoint why DHCPv6 requests are being rejected. jnxJdhcpv6LocalServerSolicitReceived and jnxJdhcpv6LocalServerDeclineReceived would be tracked to gauge client request volume and address-conflict (DECLINE) rates. A sudden rise in jnxJdhcpv6LocalServerBadSrcAddressDropped, for example, would flag misconfigured relay agents or spoofed traffic hitting the DHCPv6 server.
What Can Be Monitored
- total DHCPv6 packets dropped
- drop reason breakdown (bad options, bad message type, no client ID, relay hop count exceeded)
- DECLINE messages received
- SOLICIT messages received
- INFORMATION-REQUEST messages received
