Which command is appropriate for setting a static IP in RouterOS?

The command for setting a static IP address in RouterOS is /ip address add. This command allows the user to configure specific IP addresses to an interface, which is essential for establishing a direct and constant connection point within a network. By using this command, you can specify the interface name, the address to be assigned, and additional parameters such as the network mask.

In practice, assigning a static IP is crucial for devices that require a stable IP address for consistent network communication, such as servers, printers, and other network devices needing reliable access.

The other options serve different purposes. The command for configuring interfaces, setting up DHCP clients, or manipulating firewall rules does not relate to the assignment of static IP addresses, which is why they are not suitable for this particular function. Understanding the specific commands and their applications is vital for effective network management in RouterOS.
