Tue Jan 24, 2006 7:28 pm

Hi

How can i use external DHCP server in PPP Profiles?

I have several MTs as PPP, PPPoE,PPTP servers in diferent places, and i want my clients get there ip address from my central DHCP server when there connecting to MTs with PPP connections.

How could i do this?
(How could i replace local pools with External DHCP server?)

Hi,Thanks for your replay.

On many other brands you can use any external DHCP server as your pool without any problem (such as MS Windows , Cisco and ...) and many do not support radius for asigning IP address to PPP users.

I need to use my central DHCP server for all of my clients when my Radius server "do not support IP POOLS".

I can not find any way in MT RouterOS!! :(

MT, as stated, does not support this directly. Use Radius, and let Radius get the IP Address from DHCP. It's not supported by MT directly.
