Hello,
just noticed that on 2 of my 3 MT devices all Service Ports are flagged invalid (see screenshot). Why is that? RouterOS version is 7.1.3, RB4011 is ok, hAP ac2 and hEX S are not.
Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone,
root cause: my device had no firewalls (does not need any), and because connection tracking enabled is being set to “auto” (default) it was disabled and as a result all Service Ports showed up as invalid!
Solution(s): throw in a bunch of firewall rules (defaults or custom) or set the connection tracking enabled to “yes”.
Hope that helps anyone
When you have no firewall rules, you probably also do not need connection tracking.
Service ports are only for NAT which also requires connection tracking.
So there is really no issue here.
Yes, in fact I was just confused when I noticed it and curious what the root cause would be and did not think of an issue in the first place.
