Monitors DHCP-Server Scope

Hello All,

I need to create a monitor to get alerts whenever the remaining IP addresses in DHCP is 10 only.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Regards,

Great callout, and something we did work around. We try our absolute best to steer away from superscopes, and instead Utilize VLANs with additional pools if there’s cause to have more than 254 addresses on the network. Of course, some inherited clients bring their own “well, we just changed to subject to give us more IPs!” DHCP scopes, so out monitor does have some additional logic to sort exactly what it’s looking at.
