TATISTICS

BOOTREQUEST msgs rcvd

Incremented whenever the system identifies a UDP datagram as a DHCP/BOOTP
BOOTREQUEST message. This datagram has passed the initial consistency checks.

BOOTREQUEST msgs rlyd

Incremented whenever the system has successfully “relayed” a BOOTREQUEST message to a
configured destination (i.e., another Relay Agent, or a DHCP/BOOTP server).

BOOTREQUEST no dests cfg

Number of DHCP/BOOTP BOOTREQUEST messages received by the DHCP Relay Agent that
were discarded due to the fact that there weren’t any relay destination addresses configured.

BOOTREQUEST over max hops

Incremented whenever the DHCP Relay Agent has received a DHCP/BOOTP BOOTREQUEST
message with a ’hops’ field that has exceeded the maximum allowable value. These messages are
discarded.

BOOTREQUEST no giaddr I/F

Number of DHCP/BOOTP BOOTREQUEST messages received by the DHCP Relay Agent with
’giaddr’ fields of ’0.0.0.0’ that were discarded due to the fact that they were received over
unnumbered interfaces. It will not be possible to return a reply to the client, since we have not
determined on which network interface the client is located.

BOOTREQUEST bad rly dest

Number of DHCP/BOOTP BOOTREQUEST messages received by the DHCP Relay Agent that
were discarded due to the fact that the Relay Agent must not rebroadcast messages on the same
network interface on which they were received.

BOOTREQUEST msg too big

Number of times that the DHCP Relay Agent aborted sending a BOOTREQUEST message due to
the fact that the message was too big to fit into a buffer allocated from the Relay Agent’s transmit
buffer pool.

BOOTREQUEST no buffer

Incremented whenever the DHCP Relay Agent cannot successfully get a buffer from the Relay
Agent’s transmit buffer pool when trying to relay BOOTREQUEST messages to multiple
destinations.

BOOTREQUEST xmit fail

Number of UDP subsystem errors returned to the DHCP Relay Agent while it was trying to send
BOOTREQUEST messages to configured destinations.

BOOTREPLY msgs rcvd

Incremented whenever the system identifies a UDP datagram as a DHCP/BOOTP BOOTREPLY
message. This datagram has passed the initial consistency checks.
