dhcp-to-dns crashes with IP pool instead of address

[tomaskovacik]

Hello, is there any nice solution on how to use "active address" instead of address? I have a bunch of leases where the address is a pool and of course, the script will crash on it because dhcp_pool0 is not valid ipv4 or ipv6. thx for the response.

I think I've never seen something like that. Can you give an example of your configuration and a print detail of an effected lease?

[tomaskovacik]

using winbox: create a new static lease in IP->DHCP->LEASES-> hit "+", in the popup window, next to the address field, select the arrow pointing down and select any of your IP pools add mac address ....

obviously it is feature of mikrotik, anyway, here is my lease details:

;;; Peter, hostname=peter address=dhcp_pool0 mac-address=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx address-lists="" server=dhcp1 dhcp-option="" status=bound expires-after=19h57m36s last-seen=4h2m24s active-address=10.0.3.31 active-mac-address=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx active-client-id="y:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:y" active-server=dhcp1 host-name="peter"

/system/script/run dhcp-to-dns; info: Adding new DNS entry for xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX.example.com -> dhcp_pool0). invalid value for argument address: invalid value for argument ip invalid value for argument ipv6

Ah, interesting... Did did not know this is possible.

The fix is obvious and easy, though... Just using the other property.

I've prepared the fix in next branch. Please try:

/system/script/set dhcp-to-dns comment="url-suffix=?h=next";
$ScriptInstallUpdate;

Sorry for not checking it sooner, I forget :(

But the fix works like a charm!

Many thx!

Thanks for testing! Just moved to code into the main branch, so you can now drop the comment from script:

/system/script/set dhcp-to-dns comment="";

Please leave a star ⭐️ if you have not yet. 😊
