Hi. Why doesn't export reflect the configuration of the router?

Re: SSH Brute Force

You could use a simple single port knock to avoid dumb ssh scanners filling up your log: /ip firewall filter add action=jump chain=input dst-port=22,12345 jump-target=SSH protocol=tcp add action=add-src-to-address-list address-list="SSH Allowed" address-list-timeout=1h chain=SSH dst-port=1...

It looks like you can achieve something similar in mangle.

Re: CCR - Traffic Interface Tab Issue

In my experience, this can happen when some of the traffic to or from your winbox client is being dropped. For example, during a bandwidth test you might not get any results to graph.

Re: [SOLVED] Ethernet duplex BUG in 6.3

Not sure if it's the same issue, but I'm experiencing an auto negotiation problem between a CCR and Cisco 2960S, upon boot up. Sometimes it negotiates, and sometimes there's no traffic. At the moment I have the Cisco side set for 1000 full, which functions.

ACKed devices

If a device goes Down in the Dude (Red), I can mark it as acknowledged (Blue). When the device comes back up it changes back to Green. The problem I'm seeing is that were the device to go down a second time, it will become Blue again. It's as though the Dude still considers the problem acknowledged....

Re: a fantastic feature request for new dude

I'd like to see the Dude backup devices, or send commands to multiple devices. Something like CatTools, but built into Dude. The ability to mass upgrade devices is really useful.

I think the Dude is one of the best products, and am looking forward to the new version this year.
