So, system admin can easily turn MikroTik Router into a DHCP server and can easily reduce his network administration task. Every MikroTik Router has a built-in DHCP service. So, a DHCP server reduces huge network administration tasks of a system administrator. In a network, a DHCP client (IP devices such as Desktop, Laptop, Smartphone etc.) requests for an IP lease to DHCP servers and a DHCP server responses allocating IP address and other related IP information for a certain period. DHCP server and client use UDP port 67 and 68 for communication. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client/server protocol where a DHCP server automatically provides an Internet Protocol (IP) address and other related information such as subnet mask, default gateway and DNS to DHCP clients.
