Different DHCP for Windows/Linux Dual Boot

▤ Summary

However, due to how they are written, its rather hard to distinguish which system is running at what time. I decided to make my Mikrotik router assign a different DHCP address depending on which system I boot. When it comes to Mikrotik routers, the configuration options for delivering DHCP are quite rich but not very flexible when matching inputs. Since I dont want to mess with MAC address, choice is clear. My file looked something like this (some sections omitted): Combine either of these changes with RouterOS client-id matching, and you have the same machine using different IPs, depending on the OS it booted in.
