Summary
The MikroTik RouterOS DHCP client may be enabled on any Ethernet-like interface at a time. The client will accept an address, netmask, default gateway, and two dns server addresses. The received IP address will be added to the interface with the respective netmask. The default gateway will be added to the routing table as a dynamic entry. Should the DHCP client be disabled or not renew an address, the dynamic default route will be removed. If there is already a default route installed prior the DHCP client obtains one, the route obtained by the DHCP client would be shown as invalid.
Properties
Sub-menu: /ip dhcp-client
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| add-default-route (yes | no; Default: yes) | Whether to install default route in routing table received from dhcp server. |

Command /ip dhcp-client print detail will show current status of dhcp client and read-only properties listed in table below:

| address (IP/mask) | IP address and netmask, which is assigned to DHCP Client from the Server |
| dhcp-server (IP) | IP address of the DHCP server |
| expires-after (time) | Time, when the lease expires (specified by the DHCP server) |
| gateway (IP) | IP address of the gateway which is assigned by DHCP server |
| invalid (yes | no) | Shows whether configuration is invalid. |
| netmask (IP) | |
| primary-dns (IP) | IP address of the primary DNS server, assigned by the DHCP server |
| primary-ntp (IP) | IP address of the primary NTP server, assigned by the DHCP server |
| secondary-dns (IP) | IP address of the secondary DNS server, assigned by the DHCP server |
| secondary-ntp (IP) | IP address of the secondary NTP server, assigned by the DHCP server |
| status (bound | error | rebinding... | requesting... | searching... | stopped) | Shows the status of DHCP Client |
Menu specific commands

| release (id) | Release current binding and restart DHCP client |
| renew (id) | 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) |
Basic examples
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=yes use-peer-dns=yes use-peer-ntp=yes
status=bound address=192.168.0.65/24 gateway=192.168.0.1
dhcp-server=192.168.0.1 primary-dns=192.168.0.1 primary-ntp=192.168.0.1
expires-after=9m44s
[admin@MikroTik] ip dhcp-client>
