so elegent Mr Wilmer...! i will be very Greatful if you add a video that explain the default firewall rules that came with the router.

[@TheNetworkTrip]

Hello! Thank you I will create 2-3 videos about the firewall in RouterOS.

[@ronneldue3954]

no doubt that you are the best in what you do.

[@TheNetworkTrip]

Thank you for you comment. I’m glad you like my content!

[@chrisyoung8062]

so if I wanted to have multiple scopes (subnets with devices requesting DHCP addresses) I would create a DHCP server for each one? Basically I would repeat steps 1-3 on the server for each subnet?

[@TheNetworkTrip]

That's correct!

[@chrisyoung8062]

@@TheNetworkTripI configured it per your video and it works great! I have 7 vlans that I provide addresses to. I can now stop using my MS Server 2019 for DHCP. I wish I had known of this years ago.

Great video. Thank you:-).

If we want to do on layer 3 environment. Doest the interface on the dhcp-relay must be set to the bridge?

[@TheNetworkTrip]

Hello! If the interfaces will be in different networks, you don't need to add the interfaces to a bridge. If they will have the same broadcas domain, you can add them to the bridge.

I am trying to do relay to a single central dhcp server from multiple POPs all with mikrotik routers serving GPON customers. I see that on the server you can define only one IP for one relay. Would this setup be posible to get multiple relays to a single server? Or would I have to create multiple server, but that defeats the purpose of a single server... The whole system is running OSPF/MPLS routed, and the dhcp server is running a 100.64.x.x/10 network for carrier grade NAT. We are currently doing central dhcp server by running multiple VPLS tunnels to the central dhcp server bridge, from the POPs dhcp client's side vlans. It works, but the problem is that when a customer requests a resource that is available locally at the pop, it will travel to the edge router with dhcp, and go back outside the VPLS tunnel to the POP, causing double traffic and double latency. We want to run relay with option set 82 to determine the originating POP and assign a local gateway at the POP for the customer, so that local POP resources can be found at the local routing table. Thanks!

Is it Possible if DHCP Server is Windows Server ?

[@TheNetworkTrip]

Hello! Yes, the DHCP server can Windows Server.
