General Information - MikroTik RouterOS v2.9 Reference Manual

dhcp server interface ( name ) - interface to run DHCP server on
dns servers ( IP address ) - IP address of the appropriate DNS server to be propagated to the
DHCP clients
gateway ( IP address ; default: 0.0.0.0 ) - the default gateway of the leased network
lease time ( time ; default: 3d ) - the time the lease will be valid
Notes
Depending on current settings and answers to the previous questions, default values of following
questions may be different. Some questions may disappear if they become redundant (for example,
there is no use of asking for 'relay' when the server will lend the directly connected network)
Example

belong to the 10.0.0.0/24 network with 10.0.0.1 gateway and 159.148.60.2 DNS server for the time
