I all - new to the forums long time Microtik user.
We have a RB4011iGS that we use as a the primary Router for our network
Ethernet 1 is setup as the WAN port and the Ethernet 2-8 are bridged as the LAN
A pppoe connection is attached to Ether 1
Internet works fine as does the bridge.
My ISP called me today to ask if we could disable DHCP on the WAN connection - they stated the unit was connecting via PPPoE and then doing a DHCP request and holding that as well.
I checked and I had the DHCP-client disabled on that interface so I deleted it (even tho it was disabled)
The ISP reported the device was still sending DHCP requests - quoting ethernet1's MAC address as the iniator. They also gave me the IP address they assigned via PPPoE and DHCP
Only the PPPoE obtained IP responds to ping.
What am I missing
