Mikrotik Router Address (Local) / To Address Translation (Local)

[DanielPatrick]

Does anyone know why whenever I am assigned a DHCP IP address from a Mikrotik Router it displays
Address (local) and to Address (local)? Usually, is assigns the Address and To Address the same local IP address. So why is it being displayed differently on a certain device now? What does Address and To Address mean please?

For example:
Address To Address
10.10.10.5 10.10.10.5 (This is usual)
10.10.10.10 10.10.10.20 (This is not usual)

This can be seen by going to IP >> HotSpot >> Hosts

That's a hotspot function and not a DHCP one. I believe it re-issues an address once authenticated that may or may not be the same one.

• address (read-only; IP address) : HotSpot client original IP address
• to-address (read-only; IP address) : New client address assigned by HotSpot, it might be the same as original address
