You have a DHCP server on your MikroTik router. The IP addresses 10.1.2.2-10.2.2.20 are distributed in the DHCP network. Additionally, 3 static IP addresses are defined for your servers: 10.1.2.31-10.1.2.33.

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer
MikroTik RouterOS allows DHCP administrators to modify the DHCP address pool without creating an additional DHCP server. You can simply edit or extend the address pool range, and the DHCP server will start offering those new IPs.
Therefore, it is completely possible to:
* Extend the existing address pool
* Exclude statically assigned IPs
* Continue using the same DHCP Server instance
You do NOT need to create a second DHCP server on the same interface.
MTCNA Course Manual - DHCP Configuration:
"It is possible to expand the address-pool dynamically without adding additional DHCP servers. Just add more IPs to the pool." Rene Meneses Study Guide - DHCP Pools Section:
"You can edit the address pool associated with the DHCP server anytime to include more addresses. No need to create another server." Terry Combs Notes - DHCP Tips:
"Keep one DHCP server per subnet. Extend pools via IP > Pool if more IPs are needed."
