DHCP Options Value Help

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hey all, yesterday we got a Mikrotik RB2011Ui-AS-RM on RouterOS v6.20 I am moving DHCP from a windows server to this box. I managed to get the pool setup correctly including the excluded ip addresses, I have 3 pools which is ok for now, I will be moving the excluded ips to a lower range outside of the scope.

My issue now is implementing the scope options, so far I can not get it to work, these are the current windows server scope options:
004 time server standard 192.168.10.2
006 DNS Servers standard 192.168.10.2, 192.168.10.5 (I believe I have DNS setup correctly already so may not need to do this option
015 DNS Domain Name Standard MYDOMAIN.local
044 WINS/NBNS Servers Standard 192.168.10.2, 192.168.10.5
046 WINS/NBT Node Type Standard 0x8
156 IP Phone Boot Server Standard ftpservers=192.168.10.3, country=1, language=1 (string value)

I have tried converting the values to hex entirely. I might be doing something wrong. I believe the error I was getting was invalid value.

I tried following this thread a bit: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/dhcp-options-option-60-66-not-working/65046/1

Does anyone know what the values need to be and how to set this up? For now I will be reading. Thanks in advance for your help.

EDIT: I wonder if it was due to me converting the IP’s incorrectly I may try using both of these converters:

Thanks, will try the " '" method.

So the router took the values.

I am still a bit concerned mostly due to the fact I have never used this OS, I get to wait about 8 hours to find out if this works or not, can not go down during production. Anyway here is an example of the exact value I used for option 156

‘ftpservers=192.168.10.3, country=1, language=1’

Do you see anything wrong with that?

I see someone else posted this and seems it should all work:

"So, we have a client asking us this morning as well.
I need is option 156 set to:

FtpServers=10.230.11.51,country=1,launguage=1,Layer2Tagging=1,vlanid=111

Simply adding the ’ ’ on the ends of the string worked!

Thanks!
Brad"

Thanks again for the help.
