User Guidelines

Field

Description

DHCP client

messages received

The number of valid messages received from a DHCP client.

The count is only incremented if IP helper is enabled globally,

the ingress routing interface is up, and the packet passes a

number of validity checks, such as having a TTL > 1 and having

valid source and destination IP addresses.

DHCP client

messages relayed

The number of DHCP client messages relayed to a server. If a

message is relayed to multiple servers, the count is incremented

once for each server.

DHCP server

messages received

The number of DHCP responses received from the DHCP

server. This count only includes messages that the DHCP server

unicasts to the relay agent for relay to the client.

DHCP server

messages relayed

The number of DHCP server messages relayed to a client.

UDP client

messages received

The number of valid UDP packets received. This count includes

DHCP messages and all other protocols relayed. Conditions are

similar to those for the first statistic in this table.

UDP client

messages relayed

The number of UDP packets relayed. This count includes

DHCP messages relayed as well as all other protocols. The count

is incremented for each server to which a packet is sent.

DHCP message

hop count

exceeded max

The number of DHCP client messages received whose hop

count is larger than the maximum allowed. The maximum hop

count is a configurable value listed in show ip dhcp relay. A log

message is written for each such failure. The DHCP relay agent

does not relay these packets.

DHCP message

with secs field

below min

The number of DHCP client messages received with secs fields

that are less than the minimum value. The minimum secs value

is a configurable value and is displayed in show ip dhcp relay. A

log message is written for each such failure. The DHCP relay

agent does not relay these packets.

DHCP message

with giaddr set to

local address

The number of DHCP client messages received whose gateway

address, giaddr, is already set to an IP address configured on one

of the relay agent's own IP addresses. In this case, another device

is attempting to spoof the relay agent's address. The relay agent

does not relay such packets. A log message gives details for each

occurrence.
