Which command enables the MikroTik device to obtain an IP address automatically via DHCP on interface ether1?

• A. /ip dhcp-client add interface=ether2
• B. /ip dhcp-client add interface=ether1
• C. /ip dhcp-client set interface=ether1
• D. /ip dhcp-client remove interface=ether1

Answer: (B)

To get an IP automatically from a DHCP server on a MikroTik interface, you need to run a DHCP client on that interface. The command to do this is to add a DHCP client with the interface set to ether1. This creates a new DHCP client instance for ether1, which will broadcast and request an IP address from a DHCP server on that network and then apply the received IP to the interface. Using set would modify an existing DHCP client if one already exists, but it won’t create a new one if there isn’t one yet. Removing would delete an existing DHCP client. Targeting a different interface (ether2) wouldn’t enable DHCP on ether1.
