Creating Dhcp Servers On Mikrotik

The DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used for the slowly distribution of IP addresses inwards a network. The MikroTik RouterOS implementation includes both server too customer parts too is compliant alongside RFC 2131.

The router supports an private server for each Ethernet-like interface. The MikroTik RouterOS DHCP server supports the basic functions of giving each requesting customer an IP address/netmask lease, default gateway, domain name, DNS-server(s) too WINS-server(s) (for Windows clients) information (set upwards inwards the DHCP networks submenu)

In social club for the DHCP server to work, IP pools must too hold upwards configured (do non include the DHCP server’s ain IP address into the puddle range) too the DHCP networks.

Login alongside Winbox software thus inwards this tutorial the kickoff am going to practice is to assign IP to the bridge.

Click on IP  > click on Addresses.

So at that topographic point are 2 ways of doing this configuration

So your could assign the IP to the twain or to the port even thus the configuration volition piece of occupation really good thus whatever device connected to the twain volition instruct a DHCP if your assign using a bridge.

After too thus nosotros volition practice an address pool, genuinely this is where the entire customer volition instruct their IP addresses.

Go to IP > click on pool too the add together the IP address your desire the clients to direct maintain IP from.

Let tell 192.168.0 xx – 192.168.0.40.

So inwards this configuration the puddle make volition hold upwards betwixt 20- 40. Click on apply too okay.

So instantly nosotros are going to become over to

Go to IP > DHCP Server

You volition run into a novel window.

We volition too thus practice a novel 1 past times clicking inwards the ruby addition push clit to add together a DHCP Server.

The address for this server volition puddle from the puddle nosotros direct maintain but created above, too thus nosotros direct maintain to alter our interface to align alongside the electrical flow interface on our pool, click apply too ok. For me I prefer allowing the default fourth dimension to its default configuration of 10mins, but depending on you, you lot tin either elongate it or shorten it all depends on what you lot desire to accomplish inwards your configuration.

The side past times side affair nosotros volition practice is to click on networks too and thus add together a novel network which nosotros are using that 192.168.0.1 network. The gateway on the network volition hold upwards the address of the twain you lot created using the .1.

So inwards summary allow direct maintain a await at what nosotros direct maintain done thus far.

1. We created an address puddle too assign it to a twain where the entire network volition hold upwards getting it’s IP.

2. We created a DHCP Server too this DHCP Serve volition hold upwards using the puddle nosotros created.

3. Finally nosotros created a network for that address.

So this how you lot close creating DHCP Servers on a router, depending on you, you lot tin practice to a greater extent than too to a greater extent than DHCP server to expand your network.
