> apt install dhcpd-pools That seems to do a lot of what I want, however our current monitoring tool can do stuff a lot easier if it were accessible via SNMP. It seems there is a tool that can help https://github.com/ohitz/dhcpd-snmp It is a perl script that I somehow need to hook into the net-snmp tool. Has anyone even done this on a Debian machine, I have not used SNMP on a Debian machine before and have yet to read all the documentation as to how I can install a perl script as an extention. Anyone who can help, please do so. What do I need to focus on at first? Bonno Bloksma
