Enhanced monitoring and statistical reporting provides notification when the number of available IP addresses falls below a 90 percent threshold. To alert network managers, icon color, which is associated with the remaining addresses falling below the defined level, changes to yellow. The icon color changes to red whenever the addresses become completely depleted.
The DHCP snap-in, which supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Management Information Bases (MIBs) for DHCP statistics, provides the graphical display of statistical data. This interface helps administrators monitor system status, such as the number of available addresses versus depleted addresses, or the number of leases processed per second. Additional statistical information includes the number of messages and offers processed, as well as the number of requests, acknowledgements (DHCPACKS), declines, negative status acknowledgment messages (DHCPNACKS), and releases received.
The DHCP snap-in can display the total number of scopes and addresses on a server, the number used, and the number available for a particular scope.
