It would be handy to have “auto-mtu discovery” … ![]()

Accept FQDN into connect-to OpenVPN client.
The field accept only ipaddress and it is very limited.
UDP support for OpenVpn, It’s very useful
Implementation of TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) as a future alternative to RSTP.
TRILL allows usage of multiple links simultaneously removing the biggest restriction in RSTP which is waste of bandwidth due to offline links.

Supporting both would be great.
Change Tx Power TAB on wlan interface

-auto detect max radio power
this is default behavior if you set “default”
Feature request: DHCP-client option
I wondering, why there is no such trivial thing?
In %another_router_brand% I can put any custom options to DHCP client. For example, if I need to set dhcp-requested-address (option number 50), I can:
dhcp client txoptions add intf=ipKmInet option=dhcp-requested-address value=(addr)x.x.x.x
But there is no way to do this with mikrotik ![]()
I found similar question here: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/dhcp-client-option-60/42472/1
(option 60 (Vendor class identifier) in this case)
And the answer was: it is not possible.
So, if there is
/ip dhcp-server option
would be nice to have also
/ip dhcp-client option
Out of interest and to gain some understanding: What is it you want?
“Vendor class identifier”, what is that meaning? I found the article that describes the dhcp options but its all acadabra to me. Can you explain in plain wordings what option 60 does and what you are trying to obtain here?
Again misunderstanding.
In another router (Thomson TG784 in my example) I can add any custom option with custom value, and this fields will be transmitted with DHCP request.
So, here I need same function to add any options I want.
There are many options in DHCP protocol (255, as I understand). The option number is just a number 1-255, and option value - is just a few possible formats (IP address, string, byte, etc.)
And anything DHCP client have to do is to append all custom options to DHCP request (it does not need to know what each option means actually).

no, the question was, “why” do you need to do that? what is the result?
no, the question was, “why” do you need to do that? what is the result?
I’m just trying to tell, that there may be many reasons to do that (for example, I have no idea why somebody need option #60, but I can tell why I need option #50).
My story is long and not interesting. But if you wish… (sorry for my bad english)
My ISP does not give static IP addresses. But I don’t want to change my IP. The solution is simple: in DHCP protocol the client can (and most DHCP clients do) tell preferred IP (usually this is previous IP, which client remember). And, if this IP is valid (exists in DHCP server pool) and not used by somebody else, then DHCP server can give requested IP address (or can ignore this option, depending on server implementation and configuration). This works with my ISP: I can take back my IP even if it changes. But to do that, I need to modify option #50 (dhcp-requested-address).
My problem may look silly… But, this is what I can do with another router (and also can with linux and even windows), and can’t with mikrotik. ![]()
Yes, I know this is wrong way (the better was to get static IP from my ISP, but he does not provide such service).
Yes, I know that sometime I loose my IP anyway, but my task is only to minimize number of changes if I can.
Not silly at all , without option 60 i dont get a DHCP offer from my ISP , thought Mikrotik was the solution for my problem and it seems that i’ve go to go elsewhere …
Im sure there are other ISP’s that require other options beside 50 and 60 so the possibility of using them would be a good for mikrotik and for the people who buy mikrotik and i’m sure it wouldn’t be to hard to implement. After all it doesn’t require that much modification to the actual client.
I know it has been asked for before, but want to add my vote to be able to use /tool fetch over https. So SSL savvy fetch please!
I cringe sending my login info for my dynamic dns unencrypted (but that is all I have). My provider does not use dns-update, so must go over http with fetch.
- HTTPS fetch
- fping support
- PPTP classless routing fix for Windows clients

integrate udpxy. Very useful for IPTV over WiFi for home users.
add option to ppp profile to call one script when client connects (post ip assignment) and another script when client disconnects, and pass all relevant information to script like username, service, caller id, assigned remote ipv4 address, assigned remote ipv6 address, uptime, total tx/rx bytes.
intention being so accounting/abuse tracking can be conducted without dealing with radius, also opens the door for many other things, like scripting smart firewall rules for vpn/pppoe users.
