The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) application server is a vital part of any network infrastructure, and it is imperative to audit the activities. It can provide valuable information to the network administrators on client-server exchanges that occur when IP addresses are allotted, successful or failed lease grants, and their corresponding acknowledgments. As the organization's network data lies within the application, the TCPWave reporting framework monitors your core services to keep the applications up and running. The TCPWave's Reporting framework helps analyze the DHCP data and diagnose operational difficulties. This white paper provides insights on the DHCP Reports - IPv4 Reports.
The DHCP reports are grouped as follows:
|
Report Name |
DHCP IPv4 Appliance Audit |
|
Description |
It provides complete audit information regarding operations performed on a specific DHCP Appliance or All Appliances by an administrator. The IPAM retrieves and displays the information for a specified time provided by the users. |
|
Grid Data |
|
|
Bar Chart Data |
Displays the following information of all the appliances for the specified date range.

DHCP IPv4 Daily Peak Hour LPS |
|
Description |
It displays the DORA (Discover, Offer, Request, Acknowledgement) packets with LPS (Leases Per Second) details for the peak hour of the day for the selected appliances and date range. Peak Time and LPS are displayed on the basis of acknowledgement packets. This report helps network administrators identify the load carried by each DHCP appliance during active hours. This information helps to plan better for capacity and lessen the risk of overloading DHCP devices. This report uses organization global drop-down. |
