After a Segment DHCP server is in use, you can view the DHCP server statistics on the Segments page.

Prerequisites

  • DHCP settings are configured on the segment.
  • The server runtime status is up and the Segment DHCP server is in use.

Procedure

  1. From your browser, log in to an NSX Manager at https://nsx-manager-ip-address.
  2. Select Networking > Segments.
  3. Find the segment whose DHCP statistics you want to view.
  4. Expand the segment configuration settings, and then click View Statistics.
    The Segment Statistics page opens.
  5. Click the DHCP Statistics tab.

    In the DHCP Server Packets section, a pie chart displays the breakup of the DHCP packet counts. The packet counts represent the count of the various DHCP message types. The number at the center of the pie chart represents the sum of all DHCP packet counts.

    The DHCP Pool Statistics section displays the pool usage statistics. For example, this section shows statistics, such as the size of the DHCP pool, the number of IP addresses used from the pool, and the allocation percentage.

    Important: If you have configured both DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 servers on a segment, the DHCP Statistics page will display only the DHCPv4 packet counts and the DHCPv4 pool usage statistics. DHCPv6 packet counts and DHCPv6 pool usage statistics are currently not supported.
  6. (Optional) To reset DHCP packet counts, click Reset Packet Counter.
    The DHCP packet counts that are displayed next to the pie chart are reset. The DHCP pool statistics are not impacted.
