Can my RB750 have DHCP server configured for following scenario:



I have tried to:
1. Create 3 different IP pools and then
2. Create 3 DHCP servers to use those pools (respectfully) asigning them to different ports
with no luck

In code:
1. /ip pool 2. /ip dhcp-server I don't know why this doesn't work
I'm just learning this stuff... What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Penguin

Specifically, what doesn't work?
Are you not able to get a dhcp lease off any of the ports?
Are you using a bridge anywhere?

I always get IP address from first range (for now ).
No matter in what port I connect my test-PC.

What I did - step by step:
I did ip address release on my test PC.
I plugged into eth2 and got IP 192.168.1.45 (don't ask me why THAT address, I'm not sure). It's address from the scope I expected (1-50).
Unplugged from eth2.
Did ip address release again.
Manually setup IP address 192.168.1.66 (address not belonging to any scope defined).
Connected to RB (eth2 port) and deleted IP lease i got.
Disconnected from RB and released the IP address from PC.
Connected to eth3 - expected to get IP from 100-150 scope - and got IP address 192.168.1.44?! (address from first scope, defined on eth2 port)

RB config:
I did a quick default setup from scratch, just changing the IP on interface eth2 from default to 192.168.1.254 and renamed all interfaces. And rebooted to confirm.
So, no Bridge defined anywhere, and ports 2-5 swithed (port 2 is the master for 3-5), and port 1 is not switched with masquerading defined by default.

and ports 2-5 swithed (port 2 is the master for 3-5)

Above is answer to your question.
Set 'master-port=none' for interfaces 'eth3-LAN-AP' and 'eth4-Guest-AP'.

HTH,

I believe you are getting a dhcp lease from the first range, as you say from any port, because you are setup in a switch configuration on ports 2 through 5. This is normal and to be expected. You will not be able to get the IP ranges on your ports that you have devised until you take them out of a switched configuration. Of course, once you do that, you'll have to route them as you will have removed the layer 2 connection between each port (2-5). If you try to bridge them, you'll just get the same issue, if I'm not mistaken.

Good luck..

This should give you a good start in accomplishing what you set out to do. This will use a combination of OSPF and the correct way to subnet you ip ranges. I have used 10.x.x.x where you have used 192.x.x.x. Either is ok as long as you use the correct subnet mask (cidr). I have tested this on my RB751U, and it seems to work well. My hope is that you can understand my work, and can make use of it.

Have fun...

Will try this tommorow and will get back with results! Ty for your effort non the less!

One question, sine I'm still learning this stuff:
Why /interface bridge command?
What do we accomplish with that?

Thanks!

This is a "Loopback" interface to use with OSPF (Dynamic Routing).

You don't have to assign a interface to it, just the address.

add address=10.0.0.254/32 disabled=no interface=Loopback network=10.0.0.254

It's working like a charm... now I'll have to study this further... Thanks!
Using OSPF is a marvelous idea! I just read that it's a bit CPU consuming ... I'll test this config non the less...

Karma up!

Glad to hear it !!!
Thanks for the Karma..
Happy Trails..

there's really no need for OSPF if you don't have any other routers in your environment

I don't ... I have two AP's...
Could you please explain a bit more?

Regards

APs are also routers
you need OSPF

Bu he doesn't have multiple routes to get to any destination, so I don't see how it would help.

thanks for solution, i will try solution with OSPF and will let you know.......
