hey,
i have a setup where there is a Watchguard Firewall working as a DHCP server.
now i am putting up one Mikrotik WiFi AP connected to Watchguard.
i want to run a independent DHCP on the WiFi AP which i did successfully. But when a client connects to the WiFi AP he get the IP address from Watchguard Firewall.
i want him to get address from the Mikrotik DHCP running on the WiFi AP.
how can i get that done?
Implement a firewall that blocks dhcp messages (ports 67 and 68, udp - hope I remember well, not able to check now) on the ap bridge forward chain. Then the client will not make dhcp handshake with the main server but will get ip from Ap. Or break the bridge and use routing instead bridging.

/interface bridge filter
add action=passthrough chain=forward comment=
“-------------------------------------------------- isloate dhcp server from wlan1” disabled=yes
add action=drop chain=input comment=“drop - dhcp traffic” dst-port=67-68 in-interface=wlan1
ip-protocol=udp mac-protocol=ip
add action=drop chain=output comment=“drop - dhcp traffic” ip-protocol=udp mac-protocol=ip
out-interface=wlan1 src-port=67-68
