high_water_markUnsigned
integer
NoHigh Water Markhigh_water_markIndicates the percentage value for DHCP range usage after which an alarm will be active. When you set enable_thresholds to True, you must enter values in this field and in the range_low_water_mark field. You cannot leave these fields empty. Otherwise, the appliance displays an error message.

No

Indicates the percentage value for DHCP range usage after which an alarm will be
reset. Example: 85
low_water_markIntegerNoLow Water
Mark
low_water_markIndicates the percentage value for DHCP range usage below which an alarm will be active. When you set enable_thresholds to True, you must enter values in this field and in the range_high_water_mark field. You cannot leave these fields empty. Otherwise, the appliance displays an error message.
Example: 10
low_water_mark_resetUnsigned integerNo

Indicates the percentage value for DHCP range usage above which an alarm will be reset. Example: 10
enable_email_warningsBooleanNo
enable_email_warningsEnable to send DHCP threshold warnings via email. Example: False
