Hello.
I’m running RouterOS 3.27 on a 450G. I have ether1 setup for the WAN link (172. network)
and ether2 setup as DHCP server (192.168.88.0/24). Both interfaces are up and running
and show traffic here and there on the Interfaces menu. I’m connected to the same
switch as ether2 and I am assigned a DHCP address correctly from the server which correctly
shows up in Leases. The problem is when I’m assigned a valid IP address, I am assigned the
wrong mac address for the gateway.
arp -a
Interface: 192.168.88.254 — 0x2
192.168.88.1 00-0c-42-35-bf-71 dynamic
This MAC address IS NOT correct and no interface on the Mikrotik has that MAC!

arp -s 192.168.88.1 00-0c-42-3e-1c-33 (the correct mac for ether2)

… etc
Can anyone explain why this is happening and how to fix it? I have actually reset the system
completely and started from scratch to only get the same result.
Thank you
