The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that automatically assigns IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to devices on a network. This allows devices to connect to the network and access resources without having to be manually configured.
To configure DHCP in a Mikrotik Router, you need to specify the following information:
The interface on which the DHCP server will run.
The range of IP addresses that the DHCP server will assign to clients.
The gateway address.
The DNS server address.
Once you have configured the DHCP server, it will start assigning IP addresses to clients whenever they connect to the network. This makes it easy to manage and maintain a network, as you do not need to manually configure each device.
Here is a step-by-step description of how to configure DHCP in a Mikrotik Router-
1. Log in to the Mikrotik Router using a web browser or the Winbox utility.
2. Navigate to the IP - DHCP Server - DHCP Setup menu.
3. Select the interface on which you want to configure the DHCP server.
4. Click the Next button.
5. Enter the DHCP address space. This is the range of IP addresses that the DHCP server will assign to clients.
6. Enter the gateway address. This is the IP address of the router.
7. Enter the DNS server address. This is the IP address of the DNS server that the DHCP server will give to clients.
8. Click the Next button.
9. Review the settings and click the Finish button.
The DHCP server is now configured and will start assigning IP addresses to clients.
