Hi,
I have a 750GL and I need to set it up so that all the PCs get the “external” IP addresses from within my company’s intranet.
i.e. I don’t want the switch to have DHCP distributing internal 192.168.88.xxx IPs
I tried deleting the DHCP Server as well as deleting the DHCP Client, didn’t help.
I tried checking the “Switch All Ports” option in switch1 in Switch page of the webfig, didn’t help.
Any suggestion?
In one sentence,
Force 750GL port 2-5 to get IP address from company’s intranet’s DHCP (15.80.xxx.xxx)
Did you figure this out? I have the same question and have a heck of a time finding the answer. I would think that this is simple enough to do. The problem that I can see is that if I disable DHCP on the Mikrotik I would love the ability to access it using its IP address (192.168.88.1). So that would mean that I need to set up a new static IP for it? I tried adding a bridge and putting the other ports into it, but ports 3-5 are slaved to port 2, so I can’t add them to the bridge without disassociating them. Then there’s the issue with the NAT being turned on, and the firewall, etc. It’s turning out to be more difficult to run the 750 as a plain switch without the router smarts enabled.
If anyone is reading this, please help!
It’s easy …
Put a static IP on the PC, same subnet as Mikrotik LAN
Disable dhcpserver on Mikrotik
Put a dhcpclient on master port
Connect your router using one of the switch ports 2-5
Look at the dhcp adquired IP on Mikrotik
Put dhcp IP on the PC.
After that, if you can reach webfig using the new adquired IP on Mikrotik, you can erase static IP for master port, dhcp client for wan port and add the master port to ether1 to join the port with the others on the switch chip.
