That's how it works. What's wrong with it? Why is one order more important than another? Just use static assignments for known devices and others just get an ip dynamically. No need to worry about which number it will be...

Thanks Jarda, i agree to your point. But previous configuration before the reset used to do the other way round.

Just curious if i can impose order, ??

I found that making a leased address static in the server (at the bottom of the pool range) will then cause it to allocate addresses in ascending order.
If they are all dynamic then it allocates in descending order.

Hi,

I know that is pretty old - however - if you decrease the range ROS is going to kind of reverse (i.e. lets say instead 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.254 just use 192.168.0.100-192.168.0.200). That should give you the first dynamic of 192.168.0.100, second one 192.168.0.101, etc.
You can play with the bands once you have the logic....

Regards,
Georgi

Hi,

I found a solution to assign DHCP addresses in "normal" order.
In my local network I choose the 192.168.0.100-192.168.0.199 address range to use by DHCP Server. I made 2 address pools: dhcp 100-149 and dhcp2 150-199. I set the next pool dhcp2 in dhcp. In DHCP Server I set the address pool to dhcp, and the result is exactly what I want to. The DHCP Server assigns start with 192.168.0.100
(RouterOS v6.48.4)

regards,
deluck
