Command Description
release - release current binding and restart DHCP client
renew - renew current leases. If the renew operation was not successful, client tries to reinitialize
lease (i.e. it starts lease request procedure (rebind) as if it had not received an IP address yet)
Notes
If host-name property is not specified, client's system identity will be sent in the respective field of
DHCP request.
If client-id property is not specified, client's MAC address will be sent in the respective field of
DHCP request.
If use-peer-dns property is enabled, the DHCP client will unconditionally rewrite the settings in /ip
dns submenu. In case two or more DNS servers were received, first two of them are set as primary
and secondary servers respectively. In case one DNS server was received, it is put as primary
server, and the secondary server is left intact.
Example
To add a DHCP client on ether1 interface:
/ip dhcp-client add interface=ether1 disabled=no
[admin@MikroTik] ip dhcp-client> print detail
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid
0 interface=ether1 add-default-route=no use-peer-dns=no status=bound
