I have the pair set up and communicating using all the defaults (master at 192.168.88.2, slave at 192.168.88.3) .. can see them both in WinBox and login to both.

What I actually want to do is connect the master to a network (10.132.40.x) and have the slave connected to a switch, so that devices plugged into the switch pick up a DHCP address on the 10.132.40.x network (which provides a route out the the internet eventually).

I just can't figure out how to do this. The master *is* actually physically attached to the 10.132.40.0 network but by default does not pick up an address on that network.

Sorry if this is an idiot question and thanks for any advice/help!

This worked .. adding a static IP address on the master and the slave (.9 on the master, .10 on the slave) enabled me to plug a laptop into the slave and get a properly assigned DHCP address on the 10.132.40.0 network. I don't know if the is the correct/approved way of doing this, but it does seem to work!

/ip address add address=10.132.40.9/24 interface=ether1
/ip route add gateway=10.132.40.1
/ip dns set servers=1.1.1.1

Add a dhcp-client on the bridge.
Enable dhcp-client

Is that on the master or the slave? or both??

Thanks!

Both

Thanks!
