Adding firewall rules in a certain position without move command

RouterOS General

Hi,


How can I add filter or nat rules without adding the rule in the last position then using ‘move’ to change the sequence?
Should be able to squeeze a new rule in-between other rules without using 2 commands instead of just one.

I want to use a script to regenerate 2 NAT rules once a tunnel goes up, these seem to always appear on the last 2 positions.

Strangely, nothing in the wiki…Should be just like Cisco ACL’s, easy, but it’s not.

When executing /ip firewall filter add, you can add parameter place-before= … which should place new rule before the one mentioned … ditto for nat rules. Documentation is somehow sparse, but I’m sure if you harass google (or any other favourite search engine), it’ll tell you how to use it.
