Which feature of MikroTik allows dynamic allocation of IP addresses?

The feature of MikroTik that allows for the dynamic allocation of IP addresses is DHCP Server. DHCP, which stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, is responsible for automatically assigning IP addresses to devices on a network. This process eliminates the need for manual configuration of IP addresses, reducing the risk of human error and making network management more efficient.

When a device connects to a network, it sends a DHCP request. The DHCP server then responds by providing the device with an available IP address from a predefined pool of addresses, along with other important networking information, such as the subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server addresses. This process enables seamless network connectivity for devices as they join or leave the network.

The other features mentioned, such as static routing, DNS, and NAT, serve different purposes in network management and do not facilitate the dynamic assignment of IP addresses. Static routing involves manually configuring routes for data packets, DNS translates domain names to IP addresses, and NAT (Network Address Translation) modifies packet headers to manage IP address usage but does not deal with the dynamic allocation of IP addresses.
