Not really.Hin when you replace existing router with Mikrotik and some IP are set manualy (printer....)with end of the pool, you can facing a big conflict.DHCP is DHCP.
What does it matter if it starts at the end or the beginning as long as the pool is properly used ?
Just wondering....
DHCP is smart enough to first check if an IP is already in use before handing it out. No conflict.
Secondly, if you replace a router, you normally use the same pool. No conflict.
Third, manually assigned addresses should NOT be part of the pool.
So no conflict possible either.
I am still waiting for a VALID reason why it would be a problem to start at the bottom or top of a pool (except for cosmetic reasons like "because I like it that way", those don't count
).I believe (some ?) Linux dhcp daemon versions also start from the top ... so where is the problem ?
