Hello, this is my first post here. My 5009 is connected to my isp via an ftth ont, a pppoe client with a tagged vlan on wan port is needed to obtain the connection. So far it looks pretty good, all lan clients have their connection, there are no issues with my local pi-hole dns running on my nas. From a client point of view everything is ok.
What it’s not totally okay to me is that the router’s dhcp client is always stuck in “searching…”, meaning that if I open mikrotik terminal i can ping a remote known ip but not a domain name. To be able to retrieve mikrotik updates I added a static dns entry with the ip and domain name for the mikrotik update server but I’d like to fix this somehow.
In my setup, wan is configured on ether1, which is also bound to a vlan (id 835, interface ether1). Then there’s a pppoe client bound to interface vlan835: status shows connected and traffic is flowing.
Apart from that there’s the classic default bridge for the rest of the ethernet ports apart from a specific one which is on another subnet with another bridge but I doubt this has something to do with my dhcp client issue.
What I’ve tried so far is creating different flavors of dhcp clients to see if they ever get the dns, without luck yet.
I’ve tried adding DHCP client on interface vlan835, another on ether1, another on the default lan bridge, all of them with or without “use peer dns” or “add default route” options selected in every combination possible, keeping active one at a time or all of them at once but no solution worked so far.
Status is always “searching…”
Any idea on what may be happening here?
