Issuing two IP addresses to one PC from one DHCP server on MikroTik - is it possible?

Question

Computer networks

In Windows, a network adapter can have multiple IP addresses - this feature is provided by the system itself out of the box. They can be registered manually in the properties of the network connection.

Is it possible to set them via DHCP?
If the general answer is yes, then how to do it on specific hardware - MikroTik?

Answer 1

Maybe you need to dig towards virtual VLAN interfaces? For Realtek network adapters, there is the Realtek Ethernet Diagnostic Utility program for this, and for Intel - Intel PROSet Adapter Configuration Utility, well, if you have a Windows server, you can use NIC Teaming on it, if you have Linux, then you can also configure virtual vlan interfaces in the interface settings.

In the picture you can see several vlan interfaces in the program for the realtek adapter - each has its own mac-address, each receives an IP address from a DHCP server.

Answer 2

The address issued via DHCP is issued for a specific hardware (MAC) address.
The network adapter (both real and virtual) has only one MAC - accordingly, only one IP will be allocated to it.

Answer 3

microt in this case is just a dhcp server, as much as they ask for and surrender. Dig in the computer how to request more than 1 address.
the only question is: what's the point?

Answer 4

DHCP always gives out 1 ip address. The ability to set many - only manually prescribe.
