The DHCPv4 tab displays metrics collected related to DHCPv4 usage on the DNS/DHCP Server.

Attention: Address Manager v25.1 can only collect metrics from DNS/DHCP Servers running software version 25.1.
Note: If the DNS/DHCP Server is not configured with DHCPv4 service, a message appears indicating that the service is disabled on the server. Click Go to server to navigate to the Deployment roles tab of the DNS/DHCP Server.

From this tab, the following graphs display metrics about DHCPv4 usage:

  • DHCP leases per second—displays the DHCPv4 leases per second processed by the DNS/DHCP Server for the given timeframe.
  • Lease renewal—displays the number of DHCPv4 leases that have been renewed by the DNS/DHCP Server for the given timeframe.
  • DHCP NACKs—displays the number of DHCPv4 negative acknowledgement (NACK) messages returned by the DNS/DHCP Server for the given timeframe.
  • Top DHCP talkers—displays the most frequently occurring MAC addresses present in incoming DHCPv4 messages on the DNS/DHCP Server for the given timeframe. You can hover your cursor over the graph to display additional information about each MAC address.
    Note: This graph only displays the top 10 talkers for the selected timeframe, sorted from highest to lowest.
  • Leases per second—displays the leases per second (LPS) load on the DNS/DHCP Server for the given timeframe.
  • DHCP messages—displays the DHCPv4 messages processed by the DNS/DHCP Server for the given timeframe. The graph represents the number of queries based on each DHCP message type, such as ACK, DISCOVER, and REQUEST.
