Block or Allow MAC address on interface?

RouterOS General

This should be an easy one - but I cannot seem to get it to work. I was trying bridge filter > forward in/out interface action drop. This does not seem to work.

Any help.

Have you switched the bridge firewall on?

Thanks Jarda - I went to bridge / settings and ticked the “use IP Firewall box” on and off with same result. I assume this should be off as it was by default?

Is there a different way to turn the bridged firewall on?

This is also a 2011 with a bridge - so I will add that and try

5

it appears there is no way to do this by interface with a bridge involved

6

exactly what kind of filtering between bridge interfaces are you trying to do??

RB2011 with the default local bridge.

I am trying to filter ether3 to allow only a specific MAC address to connect. When I run the rule on the bridge it works but obviously block all other traffic. Ether3 is slaved to ether2 as well.

I want it on the same network DHCP server as ether2 but want to restrict access to the physical port to one specific device.

Hope that was clear and thanks for the help.
