CRS125 behind non bridging Modem with DHCP

Tue Dec 16, 2014 8:45 am

Greetings All,

Slowly working my way through configuring my network the way I want, but I am stuck on one thing...

I have ATT Uverse (we have FTTP/FTTH/Fiber whichever you're used to hearing it as ;) ) -- The modem/gateway is the NVG589, and unfortunately, unlike with the 510, you *cannot* turn off the DHCP server on this device.

Right now, I have it configured to do passthrough, I have the dhcp pool as small as I can set it to be (running a /30, it wont let me do a /31 or I would have). Now unfortunately, that means that it does at least have the ability to issue *1* dynamic address...

I already have the mikrotik acquiring my public ip address, but if I connect a device to the mikrotik, it has the ability to get the dhcp address from the NVG (dual dhcp on a single network without isolation is BAD).

Curious if anyone knows a way I can block this dhcp pool; I literally have 0 use for it, other than to manually set an address and connect to it.

Currently, I have the NVG setup as:

192.168.255.254/30
pool: 192.168.255.253

.253 is set as a "static lease", but if that device is not connected, or similar, the NVG makes its own rules on what to do (downright stupid).

The CRS is setup as:
192.168.26.0/27
192.168.26.1

Lease: 192.168.26.2-192.168.26.30

Looking for any suggestions on how to block this, as the device does not have an actual bridge mode, only passthrough.

Thanks!

Why not block port 67 and 68 into the gateway interface of the mikrotik?

add action=drop chain=input dst-port=67 in-interface=ether1-WAN protocol=udp src-address=192.168.255.254
add action=drop chain=input dst-port=68 in-interface=ether1-WAN protocol=udp src-address=192.168.255.254
