DHCP assign static outside pool

RouterOS General

Hi!

Can’t find related info and my brain hasn’t untangled the logic, but wondering if I can assign static leases/ips outside the dhcp server pool? (all inside same subnet)

ie, have x.x.x.200-x.x.x.250 /24 main pool. Want to set aside some devices to use x.x.x.180-x.x.x.199.

1- can I just set those static assignments with the addresses I want?
2- would I have to create a pool for those?

Would test, but I am remote in atm, don’t wan to break anything.

Thanks!

EDIT: mod addresses.

But those IPs you specify are not outside the main DHCP pool…
You can assign static leases to those devices… Let the DHCP assign an address to them, and then make it static and assign the IP you wish… On the Lease renew, the static IP will be assigned to the device…

My bad, sorry, got addresses mixed up.

So main pool is from .200 to .250, statics I want to assign are .180 to .199

Thansk!

Create static leases…

Within the dhcp server leases in winbox, create the new lease + symbol, then add the ip address desired and mac address of the device manually, then SAVE it.
Then go back to the new lease on the list and you should see an OPTION to SET STATIC.
