DHCP Measurements


The DHCP report tab is available in the DHCP Server Node test case. It records the number of messages sent and received by a DHCP server node and any errors encountered during DHCP transactions with a client.

Measurement Values

In the default view, the Reports tab displays the Summary view, which summarizes the measurements for the test session. If your test includes multiple test cases, you can view the report for a single test case by changing the report view...

Unless otherwise noted, cumulative values report the number of occurrences or rates calculated since the start of the test, and per-interval values report the number of occurrences or rates calculated during the interval. You can view either by changing the measurement values...

Elapsed Time is the first measurement on every tab. It reports the amount of time between the start of the test and the end of the report interval.

Test Iteration reports the current iteration in a repeating test session. It is only displayed when a Number of Iterations is defined for the test session.

Message Counters

The following measurements record the messages exchanged between the server node and a client during DHCP transactions.

Error Counters

The following measurements record errors encountered during address allocation or renewal transactions. See IP Pool Manager measurements for errors encountered during the server's address allocation process.
