Please clarify what exactly you want to set up.
DHCP assigned address will always be dynamic, that is why protocol is called Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.

You can set up “sticky” DHCP leases where the guest will always get the same DHCP lease from the server. You can do this manually through the CLI or in Winbox by clicking on a current active lease and telling it to make it static. The server will still hand out DHCP leases however to anyone that asks for one unless you get inventive to prevent things like that with filter rules.

You could also try using a RADIUS server for the DHCP leases and administer things that way.

l want to setup static IP to client(PC). The question now is:

  1. How do l configure my RouterOS to allow static IP without DHCP?

  2. How do l set up an address pool for Static not DHCP?

I will appreciate anyone can help me out.

Regards

I don’t understand the question. There is no additional setup required for static IPs.

are you looking to do dhcp reservations ?

l want to allow only static IP for client PC, how do l achieve this with RouterOS?

For static addressing simply add address to the router. And then statically add addresses to the clients from the same subnet. DHCP server is not configured on Mikrotik routers by default (except RB750) so clients will not be able to get DHCP addresses from the router anyway.

Hello,
l’m having some issue here with my LAN: I ping my LAN is timed out

l ping WAN and is replying.

What maybe the likely problem pls?

Are you blocking ICMP somewhere? What on the LAN are you trying to ping?

You should post way more details than you did. You’re asking a very generic question and are expecting a specific answer, but no one knows your network layout.
