Aliases

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hello all,

I’ve searched the forums and couldn’t find anything relevant… what I would like to know is, with RouterOS 4.11, is there a feature that allows me to define an alias for use in firewall/NAT rules. I have come from a OpenBSD ‘pf’ background where one can do something like this for example;

safe_ips = { 192.168.1.1/32, 10.11.23.0/24 }

and so on. Then I can use a rule like;

pass in on interface from $safe_ips


I looked at address_lists but it doesn’t look like it does this entirely.

Cheers.

there are no features like alias in RouterOS. Only way to make lists of IP addresses is to use your mentioned address-list.
