devices doesn't get IP address when behind a switch

Hi,
I have the following network configuration :
Internet->MK750GL->switch->devices

My MK has the default configuration except the network address. The dhcp server is activated on the eth ports with eth2 as a master.

The devices behind the switch doesn't get an IP address from the router and I cannot seen them in the lease tab. When I connect the devices directly to the router, the devices get an IP address and are seen in the lease tab.

Unfortunately, I didn't find a solution with the MK. I tried with a linksys router and it works so the switch works fine.

Can someone help me ?

Hi thedali,

What switch are you using? brand and model?

What MK port number is connected to the switch?

If you assign a manual IP address on computers connected to the switch, can you access to the router?

Hi,

I have just solved the problem thanks to your comments.

I have already updated the firmware of routerOS but it didn't solve the problem. In fact, the problem came from the switch (NetGear GS105) which blocked all dhcp server packet. I simply turned off the switch, plug the network cable to router, and turn on the switch and it works.
