What is dhcpClientErrors?

This counter tracks the number of errors the DHCP client has encountered. An admin monitors this counter to detect ongoing problems with the DHCP client's ability to obtain or maintain an address lease. For example, a steadily increasing dhcpClientErrors count would prompt the admin to investigate connectivity to the DHCP server or check for configuration issues on the client interface.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.4.1.1.1.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ZHONE-COM-IP-DHCP-CLIENT-MIB::dhcpClientErrors

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5504.4.1.1.1.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ZHONE-COM-IP-DHCP-CLIENT-MIB::dhcpClientErrors.1

Start monitoring Zhone Technologies broadband/DSL access device (DHCP-client lease/server-binding status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the ZHONE-COM-IP-DHCP-CLIENT-MIB::dhcpClientErrors OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Zhone Technologies broadband/DSL access device (DHCP-client lease/server-binding status) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Zhone Technologies broadband/DSL access device (DHCP-client lease/server-binding status) 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 dhcpClientErrors 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. It reports the number of errors that DHCP client has encountered. 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.
