In this senario we are using a 450M with 450B cpes(16.0.0.1 on both). When a CPE first links to the tower I can give the device attached to said CPE an IP address through dhcp. Mikrotk - 450M - 450B- device that gets dhcp, this works as intended because its bridged.
When I change the CPE into nat mode, everything works as intended with the nat mode and the client recieves the correct address that the 450b CPE gives out.
Heres the weird part, AFTER a CPE is in nat mode and is reverted to bridge mode the client will no longer get a dhcp address from the mikrotik. Even after a factory reset and linked back to the tower the client would not get a dhcp address. The client could however put in a static address and it would work fine, but it would never get it by dhcp again.
Any help would be appreciated

Could you please confirm if the DHCP Server is receiving DHCP Discover messages, in the above case.
I don't think it is - as the mikrotik router never goes into the offering dhcp status for that address - it just sits in waiting.

I could not re-create this issue in the lab.
Could you please send me an email to balaji.grandhi@cambiumnetworks.com.
I would like to work with you to debug this issue.
Thanks,
