MiktoTik DHCP server can't give IP Addresses on bridge whenever pfSense is on?
-
Hi,
I have a problem in my home network. I just installed pfSense in a QOTOM device. The only thing I did for the time being was put 7 out of 8 interfaces in a bridged LAN. I can confirm it's working, after I followed some guides.
The problem is now that the DHCP server I have configured in my MikroTik it's not allowing all clients to have an IP. I would like to have my MikroTik as a DHCP server. It is correctly configured, as always. So it's so strange now that some devices can't receive any IP.
Does it sounds to you this problem? I've never faced this problem before, just now that I added the bridge in my pfSense.
Thanks
EDIT: I have full visibility in my own network whenever I do a network ping scan. Currently, I have both DHCP servers on with the same network with different pools so I have at least Internet acces because we're doing just now heavy use of the Internet not only myself. So little space for testing,

@drumsergio Have you created the necessary firewall rules to allow DHCP over the bridge?

Apologies - I was seeing strange things and I thought it was my brand new firewall, as I am such a novice with it.
The problem resulted to be the pool of addresses given to the DHCP server inside the MikroTik. It was in another tab, so I just configured DHCP but I didn't change the pool...
I tried your solution anyway. Thanks
