I am trying to set up DHCP using the microtik routerboard RB3011.
Using Winbox and following the setup instructions (https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/First+Time+Configuration)
using the DHCP setup button succeeds and appears to be running. However, my attached computer does not receive an IP address. I have set up DHCP using the plus icon in Winbox and that succeeds and the attached computer receives an IP address but will not route between subnets.
I have to be doing something wrong, yes? How should I be setting up these DHCP pools correctly.
Thanks in advance!
So we’re not trying to guess, please post your configuration. To export and paste your configuration (and I’m assuming you are using WebFig or Winbox), open a terminal window, and type (without the quotes) “/export hide-sensitive file=any-filename-you-wish”. Then open the files section and right click on the filename you created and select download in order to download the file to your computer. It will be a text file with whatever name you saved to with an extension of .rsc. Suggest you then open the .rsc file in your favorite text editor and redact any sensitive information. Then in your message here, click the code display icon in the toolbar above the text entry (the code display icon is the 7th one from the left and looks like a square with a blob in the middle). Then paste the text from the file in between the two code words in brackets.
I am currently using the default config. I have modified ports 9 and 10 with their own DHCP server in an attempt to guarantee a predicable IP address to any devices attached to those ports. This router will never be connected to the internet and will only be used for automated testing of devices. Current config is below.
Think I have it working. Corrected the pool1 DHCP range I only noticed after posting this. I am now able to ping across the subnets, which wasnt happening before.
Going to test it tomorrow and see what happens.
