Hi we are monitoring our DHCP servers which run on AIX servers. What we are doing is we have one NT machine with three nics. One nic with a static address for monitoring it the the other two nics are in a different vlan each and they are coded in the DHCP servers to always get the same IP address via the mac address. The lease times for these seperate vlans are very short 10min so a loss of address will be noticed quickly.
Then we are having WUG do an SNMP read on the OID values for the IP address on each adaptor. If it doesnt match what its soposed to be from the DHCP server we alert on it. An example of the OID string to monitor is this: 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.20.1.1.10.20.1.10 where the last 4 numbers are the assigned IP address. Hope this helps.
