Measures reported by IbDHCPV6StateTest

This test monitors the Infoblox appliance and reports the statistics relating to the messages that were received/transmitted through DHCP6 protocol.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Solicit_msg_received Indicates the rate at which Solicit messages were received through DHCP6 protocol. Msgs/sec A client sends a Solicit message to locate servers.
Requests_received Indicates the rate at which Request messages were received through DHCP6 protocol. Requests/sec A client sends a Request message to request configuration parameters, including IP addresses, from a specific server.
Releases_received Indicates the rate at which Release messages were received through DHCP6 protocol. Releases/sec A client sends a Release message to the server that assigned addresses to the client to indicate that the client will no longer use one or more of the assigned addresses.
Advertises_msg_sent Indicates the rate at which Advertise messages were transmitted through DHCP6 protocol. Msgs/sec A server sends an Advertise message to indicate that it is available for DHCP service, in response to a Solicit message received from a client.
Reply_msg_sent Indicates the rate at which Reply messages were transmitted through DHCP6 protocol. Msgs/sec A server sends a Reply message containing assigned addresses and configuration parameters in response to a Solicit, Request, Renew, Rebind message received from a client. A server sends a Reply message containing configuration parameters in response to an Information-request message. A server sends a Reply message in response to a Confirm message confirming or denying that the addresses assigned to the client are appropriate to the link to which the client is connected. A server sends a Reply message to acknowledge receipt of a Release or Decline message.
Renew_msg_sent Indicates the rate at which Renewal messages were received through DHCP6 protocol. Msgs/sec A client sends a Renew message to the server that originally provided the client's addresses and configuration parameters to extend the lifetimes on the addresses assigned to the client and to update other configuration parameters.
Rebind_msg_received Indicates the rate at which Rebind messages were received through DHCP6 protocol. Msgs/sec A client sends a Rebind message to any available server to extend the lifetimes on the addresses assigned to the client and to update other configuration parameters; this message is sent after a client receives no response to a Renew message.
Decline_msg_received Indicates the rate at which Decline messages were received through DHCP6 protocol. Msgs/sec A client sends a Decline message to a server to indicate that the client has determined that one or more addresses assigned by the server are already in use on the link to which the client is connected.
Inform_msg_received Indicates the rate at which Information-Request messages were received through DHCP6 protocol. Msgs/sec A client sends an Information-Request message to a server to request configuration parameters without the assignment of any IP addresses to the client.
