What do the flags DAS/DAd mean?

• A. Dynamic Active Static
• B. Direct Active Dynamic
• C. Dynamic Assigned Static
• D. Disabled Active Default

Answer: (A)

In MikroTik RouterOS, the DHCP lease flags summarize three attributes of each lease: how the address was assigned (dynamic vs static), whether the lease is currently in use (active), and whether the address is defined as a static binding in the DHCP server. The letters D, A, and S stand for Dynamic, Active, and Static. Seeing a combination like Dynamic Active Static means the lease was assigned dynamically from the pool, it is currently active on the network, and it is recorded as a static binding in the DHCP server (a reserved/static lease). This helps you quickly distinguish dynamic leases that are actively in use from true static bindings. The other options don’t reflect these three attributes together in RouterOS’s DHCP lease flags.
