When you want your Mikrotik DHCP Server handout different gateways (or DNS/WINS/NTP/.. servers and other settings), many of the answers tell you to fiddle with the DHCP networks like DHCP Server different gateways – MikroTik RouterOS [WayBack ] but lack concrete examples, so here we go elaborating a lot on DHCP server with static leases – MikroTik RouterOS [WayBack ]:

The locking tab of RJ45 plugs breaks very easily. Replace it by two nylon cable ties (aka zip ties), in minutes. IMPORTANT NOTES: – This must be regarded as a temporary “Mac Gyver” solution, for home usage. – Definitely not for IT staff! (no crimper? asking for one in the budget won’t get you fired!) – Before the tab breaks, consider protecting the plug.

The RouterOS scripting language you can use on Mikrotik device immediately shows it’s origin: the console.
It is a statement oriented language where statement separators can be both semicolons and new-lines.
You can use the \ at the end-of the line as line-continuation character effectively spreading statements over multiple lines.
As promised some links to questions I asked:

When switching my DHCP to a Mikrotik CCR1009, both the AP7920 and AP7921 failed to get IP addresses. The APC7921 would look bounce between waiting and offered states like this:
The cause is the need of DHCP Option 43 (Vendor Class Identifier ) specified in RFC2132 – based on [WayBack ] RFC 2131 – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol and [WayBack ] RFC 1533 – DHCP Options and BOOTP Vendor Extensions – which I found first via these links:

The WAN sides of my Mikrotik CCR1009 are partly behind Fritz!Box routers that do NAT and contain a truckload of port-forwards.
A while ago, I wanted the CCR1009 to do PPTP as Fritz!Box 7360 and 7490: static routes over VPN don’t work (so I could only VPN to the WAN side of the CCR1009). However, it would not pass through the Fritz!Box from the outside.
It appears you need to forward both:
Maybe one day I will ditch the Fritz!Box 7490 and directly hookup the Mikrotik to the NTU: xs4all ftth en Mikrotik router – Google Groups .
But preferably I should follow Don’t use PPTP, and don’t use IPSEC-PSK either (via: CloudCracker blog)

Forward both PPTP TCP port 1723 and the GRE protocol

Interesting:
As I always try to maximize the usage of new hardware I started to explore what is possible with this combination. In this post I will explain how you get access to your FRITZ!Box using ssh.
