Parameter Description
UDP clients

received
The number of valid UDP packets received. This count includes DHCP messages and all other
protocols relayed. Conditions are similar to those for the first statistic in this table.
UDP clients
messages
relayed
The number of UDP packets relayed. This count includes DHCP messages relayed as well as all
other protocols. The count is incremented for each server to which a packet is sent.
DHCP
message hop
count
exceeded
max
The number of DHCP client messages received whose hop count is larger than the maximum
allowed. The maximum hop count is a configurable value listed in show bootpdhcprelay. A log
message is written for each such failure. The DHCP relay agent does not relay these packets.
DHCP
message
with secs
field below
min
The number of DHCP client messages received whose secs field is less than the minimum
value. The minimum secs value is a configurable value and is displayed in show
bootpdhcprelay. A log message is written for each such failure. The DHCP relay agent does
not relay these packets.
DHCP
message
with giaddr
set to
local
address
The number of DHCP client messages received whose gateway address, giaddr, is already set
to an IP address configured on one of the relay agent’s own IP addresses. In this case, another
device is attempting to spoof the relay agent’s address. The relay agent does not relay such
packets. A log message gives details for each occurrence.
Packets
with
expired TTL
The number of packets received with TTL of 0 or 1 that might otherwise have been relayed.
Packets
that
matched a
discard
entry
The number of packets ignored by the relay agent because they match a discard relay entry.
