SNMP traps and query for monitoring DHCP pool

The SNMP DHCP event contains three traps and one query.

Traps are sent when:

• DHCP server IP pool usage reaches 90%
• DHCP server detect an IP address that is already in use
• DHCP client receives DHCP NAK

SNMP queries are accepted for DHCP lease usage information (OID = 1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.101.23). The query result is based on the leased out percentage.

To enable the SNMP DHCP event in the GUI:

1. Go to System > SNMP.
2. Click Create New in either the SNMP v1/v2c table or SNMP v3 table, or edit an existing community or user.
3. Configure the settings as required.
4. In the SNMP Events list, enable snmp-event::dhcp.

   

5. Click OK.

config system snmp community

        set name "REGR-SYS"
        config hosts
