Hi All,

I have configured the windows DHCP Server monitoring on Nagios XI but after configuring I getting the error which mentioned below.

CRITICAL: No DHCPOFFERs were received. (Screen Shot attached).

I have given the access in iptables also & not get the success with below script then stop the iptables services on Ngaios XI server but error still same.
iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -p udp --dport 67:68 --sport 67:68 -j ACCEPT

Thanks & Appreciation in Advance.

So even if you turn the firewall off, and then force it to do a check, you still get the same error? I've found that it's almost been a firewall related error when I am not able to get a DHCP offer.

When you execute the check_dhcp request, the XI server must be on the same physical network segment as the DHCP server. If you want to ensure that a specific DHCP server is working, you can target it. Does this help?

Hi hsmith,

Yes, I have turn off the firewall (iptables) and then also i getting the error.

CRITICAL: No DHCPOFFERs were received.

Hi Box293,

when I have tried to run this command (./check_dhcp & ./check_dhcp -s 192.168.0.4 ) got the below error message.

# ./check_dhcp
CRITICAL: No DHCPOFFERs were received.

./check_dhcp -s 192.168.0.4
CRITICAL: No DHCPOFFERs were received.

when I search this error CRITICAL: No DHCPOFFERs were received on Google and found some link which mention below
https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... =6&t=33476

As per the link I have run the scrip which mentioned below and also get the error & disable the firewall (iptables) on Nagios XI Server and even disable windows firewall also.

Is the XI server on the same physical network segment as the DHCP server?

Yes DHCP server and Nagios XI server in same physical network (192.168.0.0), and I am able to do the nslookup also.

# nslookup 192.168.0.4
Server: 192.168.0.4
Address: 192.168.0.4#53

4.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa name = adc.co.in

Is there anything in the windows server DHCP log to indicate why?

do u want the events logs of DHCP server from windows ?

Basically I am trying to see if the actual DHCP server is logging why it's not responding to the Nagios server.

This comment made me think the DHCP server is a windows box.

yes, you are right we are using windows 2008r2 std base dhcp server.
