DHCP question/feature request

RouterOS General

I use mikrotik as a dhcp server, mikrotik takes all data from radius. I have one problem. I have used to ISC’s dhcpd and its behaviour.

The problem is in rather rare case - mikrotik has dhcp server on interface local with 10.0.0.0/24 network (and 10.0.0.1 ip) and if radius gives to mikrotik IP from other network (for example 172.25.12.4), mikrotik gives this bad IP to the user. ISC’s dhcpd in that case throw bad IP away and gives one IP from dynamic pool.

Is it a way to do something similar in Mikrotik? Some checking of the returned by radius IP - if this IP can be used on the interface?

It would solve some problems to me.

While not a bad idea, if you (MikroTik) do implement this, please make it optional.

There are quite a few cases, where I want the MTs to hand out DHCP addresses for networks that they are not themselves a part of.

Yes, I have thought to make it optional or configurable - something like: allow-in-subnet-addresses=yes
