I run around 100 small Mikrotiks for just simple tasks and now I bought a bigger one where I have 100 devices connected wich need the DHCP-Options to be forced without request.
Can any developer please add this feature to DHCP-Server
china telecom doesn`t want you to use your own router ,so they make the dhcp option problem .
you can use the router , which they provide and under their supervision, without the dhcp option problem.
You have limited access to their router . you only can change the Lan ip ,dhcp pool ,ssid and pw.
static pat ? no
vpn ? no
firewall ? no
qos ? no
It should be super to select wich option to FORCE in the DHCP server settings

Not only in China, see the same behavior with Telus 4K set-top box, not sure if that apply to all set-top box or just new install in my area

Please give this option!!!
Alternatively, if Mikrotik can support dhcp option 55 which allows defining which options to send, we can work around this issue. But it is not possible either.
When there is some option that fixes your problem, you can add it. That has been possible for a long time.
Its end of 2019 , still dont have the force dhcp option . I dont think its a difficult feature .Please add it .
Is this being planned in a feature?
Really start to need this. Hate it to have to run a separate DHCP server in the network only for forcing some options.
Now it’s 2020. Does Mikrotik have any plan on this feature? without this, I have to run a separate DHCP server in my LAN to provide required feature. Really pls Mikrotik to consider this requirement.
I need to force option 252 out so that I can let the devices know to use a new or different web proxy. So anything MikroTik can do, sooner the better.
+1 - seriously needed.
Since 2 years i wait for this additional feature, I’m already waiting for forcing dhcp options.
Thank you to the development of the RouterOS-Team and Happy Eastern 2020 and keep health without Corona!
+1 feature request
+1 we need this feature as well!
The new RFC7710-Draft states this as well:
DHCP servers MAY send the Captive Portal option without any explicit request.
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-capport-rfc7710bis-11
Official answer from Mikrotik-support:
Hello,
Thank you for your request. We will consider implementing such an option.
Best regards,
Fingers crossed!
I have found that quite a lot of Android clients won’t request DHCP option 121, classless static routes and I am not able to push routes to them unless explicitly forced by the DHCP server. I am quite surprised this has not been implemented in RouterOS after all this years…
In fact you should be more surprised that the Android developers, after all those years, could not be bothered to put an option request in their DHCP request for all options that they can process. After all, that is the standard for the DHCP protocol.
I partecipated to this discussion and agree with both points of view.
a) the client device SHOULD follow the dhcp protocol correctly and ask the right option.
b) the DHCP server could force some options to fix broken clients.
I understend the view “the client is broken, please fix the server”.
The reality is that a lot of manifacturers simply IGNORE the correct DHCP protocol’s behaviour. For example AVM on fritzbox receives opt43 but NOT ASKS FOR IT. So we cannot provision AVM devices on a network where the mikrotik is the dhcp server, and it is really a bad situation for us. We use a separate DHCP server, or in some situations, the relay.
It would be PERFECT for a RouterOS to have the FORCE OPTION flag… and maybe a vendor specific options as a real DHCP server. It will be a wonderful move to have more and more place in the networks.
This simple feature has been requested since 2013 in this thread http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/force-dhcp-server-to-send-option-to-client/68474/1
And it’s almost 2021, 8 years passed, really disappointed!
