My Router does not have an IP address

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Dear All,

I have a MikroTik - hAP AC2 that I tried to configure as an access point. The devices that connect to the access point should use the DHCP server of my main router.
This seems to work now, but my routerboard does not have an IP address. I use the MAC address to configure it via Winbox.
It seems strange that the routerboard has no IP address of its own. This makes it also problematic to upgrade the packages.
I am quite a newby so any tips for to solve this using Winbox?
I included my configuration.

Regards,
Ronald

/interface bridge filter
add action=drop chain=input dst-port=68 in-interface=ether1 ip-protocol=udp
mac-protocol=ip

Why drop port 68. Is this disabling DHCP client for the bridge ???

/interface list member
add interface=ether1 list=WAN
add interface=ether2 list=LAN
add interface=ether3 list=LAN
add interface=ether4 list=LAN
add interface=ether5 list=LAN
add interface=wlan2 list=LAN
add interface=wlan1 list=LAN

Does not make much sense, as these interfaces are ports on the bridge, they have no longer specific characteristics, they inherent them from the bridge.
So the only line here that makes sense is “add interface=bridgeLocal list=LAN”
Ether1 does not even have the WAN characteristic in this bridged setup , all interfaces are LAN.


/interface wireless cap
set bridge=bridgeLocal discovery-interfaces=bridgeLocal interfaces=
wlan1,wlan2

???

/ip dhcp-client
add comment=defconf disabled=no interface=bridgeLocal

That should give it an IP address
