Description: Manages DHCP server and relay agent configuration and lease statistics on Riverstone routers.

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 RIVERSTONE-DHCP-MIB?

RIVERSTONE-DHCP-MIB is a vendor MIB for Riverstone Networks routers/switches that provides SNMP management of the device's DHCP server and relay agent feature. It exposes configuration data for DHCP service settings and lease statistics, including how the DHCP lease file is stored and managed. This is primarily a software-service status MIB: it lets an administrator confirm the DHCP service on the switch is properly configured and check lease management health rather than physical hardware sensors. It likely depends on standard SNMP addressing types (InetAddressType) for specifying the lease file manager host. It is used in enterprise or service-provider networks where Riverstone switches act as DHCP servers/relays for downstream client address assignment, and operators want visibility into DHCP service configuration via SNMP. Engineers can download the RIVERSTONE-DHCP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RIVERSTONE-DHCP-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.

Monitoring Examples

The visible object rsDhcpLeaseFileManagerAddressType indicates the addressing family used for the host that manages the DHCP lease file, part of a broader table of DHCP server/relay settings. An admin would poll this alongside related lease-management objects to verify the DHCP lease file is being written to the expected management host, catching misconfiguration if leases aren't persisting correctly. This kind of check is valuable when troubleshooting client address assignment failures traced back to lease-file storage issues.

rsDhcpCompliance	1.3.6.1.4.1.5567.2.50.3.1.1			The compliance statement for SNMP entities which implement the dhcp management and config objects for RS
rsDhcpGroups	1.3.6.1.4.1.5567.2.50.3.2
rsDhcpGroup1	1.3.6.1.4.1.5567.2.50.3.2.1			The collection of objects which are used to represent version 1.0 of DHCP MIB
rsDhcpGroup2	1.3.6.1.4.1.5567.2.50.3.2.2			The collection of objects which are used to represent version 1.1 of DHCP MIB
rsDhcpLeaseFileGroup	1.3.6.1.4.1.5567.2.50.5			Group for dhcp lease file upload
INT rsDhcpLeaseFileTransferOp	1.3.6.1.4.1.5567.2.50.5.1	INTEGER	read-write	Transfer operation to be performed. DHCP lease files are ASCII NVT text files. Send operations use tftp to transfer a file from the manager to agent. Receive operations use tftp to transfer the file from the agent to the manager. Default value is no operation or noop.
IPt rsDhcpLeaseFileManagerAddressType	1.3.6.1.4.1.5567.2.50.5.2	InetAddressType	read-write	Specifies the type of IP address of the Manager to be used by the agent for rsDhcpLeaseFileTransferOp operations.
IP rsDhcpLeaseFileManagerAddress	1.3.6.1.4.1.5567.2.50.5.3	InetAddress	read-write	The IP address of the Manager to be used by the agent for rsDhcpLeaseFileTransferOp operations. Address must be a unicast address that is reachable from the agent and no firewalls/acls preventing tftp datagrams from being transferred. The address type is determined by the object value of rsDhcpLeaseFileManagerAddressType. A value for this object MUST be set prior to setting rsDhcpLeaseFileActivateTransfer to TRUE.
STR rsDhcpLeaseFileFileName	1.3.6.1.4.1.5567.2.50.5.4	DisplayString	read-write	The file name to be retrieved from the tftp server at host dhcpLeaseFileManagerAddress or to be written to. Default value is blank. Length of filename string must not exceed 255 alpha-numeric characters, no spaces in filenames.
T/F rsDhcpLeaseFileActivateTransfer	1.3.6.1.4.1.5567.2.50.5.5	TruthValue	read-write	Activate the file transfer operation with a value of True(1) or stop it with False(2). Poll rsDhcpLeaseFileTransferStatus for current status. Default value is False. rsDhcpLeaseFileFileName, rsDhcpLeaseFileManagerAddress and rsDhcpLeaseFileTransferOp must be valid prior to setting this object to True.
INT rsDhcpLeaseFileTransferStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.5567.2.50.5.6	INTEGER	read-only	The current status of the transfer task. Default state is idle. sending indicates a file transfer (agent->mgr) in progress. receiving indicates sending a file from Manager to agent. transferComplete indicates a successful transfer. error indicates a failed transfer. See rsDhcpLeaseFileLastError to diagnose why the transfer failed.
RSE rsDhcpLeaseFileLastError	1.3.6.1.4.1.5567.2.50.5.7	RsErrorCode	read-only	A reason code for the last transfer operation. Poll this value when doing sets against dhcpLeaseFileActivateFile obtain status.
STR rsDhcpLeaseFileLastErrorReason	1.3.6.1.4.1.5567.2.50.5.8	DisplayString	read-only	A string representation of dhcpLeaseFileLastError which may contain additional details.
rsDhcpConfigGroup	1.3.6.1.4.1.5567.2.50.10			Dhcp config group
rsDhcpStatisticsGroup	1.3.6.1.4.1.5567.2.50.15			Dhcp statistics group
I32 rsDhcpMaxClientsAllowed	1.3.6.1.4.1.5567.2.50.15.1	Integer32	read-only	Maximum number of DHCP clients allowed per system
I32 rsDhcpNumberOfClients	1.3.6.1.4.1.5567.2.50.15.2	Integer32	read-only	Current number of DHCP clients connected
