DHCP server problem

Tue Mar 10, 2020 8:56 pm

Hi all,

I am using a RB2011 routerboard with dhcp server range configured as 192.168.1.10-192.168.1.254
I have attached here some winbox print screens that hope will help.

Unfortunately some LAN clients (windows 10 desktops) acquire their IP from the old default range 192.168.88.10/254
It all started a day ago, with one particular desktop, and today (after a RB reboot) another desktop went on this old 88 IP.
Obviously, having this IP they have no access to internet...

How is this possible and how can I fix this?
There is the very same wrong IP acquired if I reboot the desktops, reset their network or disable/enable this adapter.

In order to have a working network I had to manually assign fixed IP's for these crazy desktops.

Thank you for any advice.
Dan
PS. I am quite novice in Mkt configuration.

Oh its definitely you LOL or at least your config.
Please post config
open up terminal window.
type
/export hide-sensitive file=yourconfig

Then go to the file menu, download the file
Open it in wordpadd++
Copy and paste the text here using the code tags above (black square with white brackets)

ensure you delete your WANIP if still noted in DHCP Client. ( i also remove mac address of my router etc...)

Re: DHCP server problem

I'd look for another DHCP server in your network ... if you do a wireshark trace on one of windows clients that reverted to 192.168.88.x, then you should be able to find out DHCP server's MAC address which should lead you to the device in question.

BTW, you may want to change this setting:
/ip dhcp-server
add address-pool=dhcp authoritative=after-2sec-delay disabled=no interface=bridge-local name=default
The highlighted part only delays assignment (and leaves room for other DHCP server to kick in). Or even lets DHCP clients to freak out as if there wasn't any DHCP server available). You can try to set it to authoritative=yes ...

Thanks, Mkx.

I have changed authoritative to YES, as you suggested.

There is no other dhcp server on this network. We have just one router - the RB2011.
From where does this zombie 88 dhcp might come I have no idea.
Could it be something related to CAP's?

If there's some "zombie" DHCP server, you should be able to find it according to its MAC address.
The other possibility for those 192.168.88.x addresses is that they're cached in devices and DHCP server isn't able to reject those leases and send out new leases ... due to many reasons. I don't want to start guessing which it is ....

Re: DHCP server problem

Apparently there is a faulty CAP.
Since I do not have direct access at this location I have just noticed (via winbox) that one of the CAP's has no IP in the lease list of RB2011.
It may have lost its configuration due to ac-electric power failure.
Starting a winbox via a local computer have shown that this cap has the default 88.1 IP.
Is it possible that this cap may act as dhcp?
How could I revert it remotely at the normal config?

It sure can be DHCP server, SOHO models by default run DHCP server on their LAN devices by default.

Can you connect to that CAP using winbox MAC connectivity? (On the list of discovered devices, click device's MAC address instead of its IP address.) If not, then configure management PC with IP address 192.168.88.x and use it to connect to offending CAP.

It could be that somebody rebooted that CAP while holding reset button pressed - making it to reset to factory defaults.

I had to pull out this Cap and make a hardware reset, since it wasn't showing up with its mac in winbox, no ssid broadcasting (like it should).
It is very unlikely that someone would have been able to make a reset. All colleagues are nice and the device was fixed in a highly unaccesibile location.
Thank you for all your assistance.

I have found that very dirty power failures (where power fluctuates off/on several times close together at just the right delay) can scramble configurations of many devices, including MikroTiks, up to and including full factory reset.

Can't beleive it but this just happened to me - found the bad Metal52 giving out default IP's
