Hostpot - dhcp pool vs hotspot address pool

RouterOS Beginner Basics

What is the relationship between IP pool in DHCP setup on the hotspot interface and hotspot address pool ?

e.g,

  • step1 - setup IP network and DHCP server on eth5 ip pool = x.x.x.100-x.x.x.150
  • setp1 - hotspot setup on eth5, there is Address Pool, I can enter any range, what if I enter
    a) x.x.x.50-x.x.x.200
    b) x.x.x.150-x.x.x.200

what effect will on HS operation will have a) b) settings ?

You can select any DHCP-pool that you have setup.

a) x.x.x.50-x.x.x.200 = 150 DHCP-leases
b) x.x.x.150-x.x.x.200 = 50 DHCP-leases

I dont follow your answer.

DHCP server assigns IP from its pool.

What does the hotspot server do with its ip pool ?

4

The hotspot server will use the DHCP server to shared the IP-Addesses to the clients (users)

5

when someone wants to connect to hotspot and the network its seems be necessary to have a connection between router ! simply , a ping ! so you have to had a DHCP server , the hotspot will automatically set a DHCP server to give users IP

I dont follow, let’s take an example

eth2, DHCP server network 10.1.1.1/24 ip pool 10.1.1.100-200.
hotspot configured on eth2

  • user connects computer to eth2
  • computer asks dhcp server for an IP and gets 10.1.1.100
  • user enters www.google.com in a browser
  • HS redirects user to a login page,
  • user enters login/pass
  • NOW, what happens next ? how is the IP pool used by HS ?
